reading beer festival...

It's that time of year again, the Reading Beer Festival! :o)

Me, Dan, Johnson, Frankie, Ron and Becca met up at the House of Henry at 3pm and arrived at the beer festival site sometime close to 4pm. The sunny weather must have dragged people out cos when we arrived, the que headed up towards Tesco! Skene was stuck on a train from Waterloo due to maintenance work and broken trains. After a mere hours que, we finally made it in.

Last year we went on the Sunday which is the last day and there was very little cider left so this year, we thought we'd go a day earlier. The cider bar looked a little disappointing but turned out to have a reasonable selection. I even managed to try the winning cider and the winning perry along with a few of the finalists. All very good! :o)



In the absence of Jo, Skene could eat a roast hog sandwich without feeling guilty and no sooner had we walked through the door, he was in the que! Ron and Becca went for something a bit different and had wild boar and bison while me and Dan stuck with roast lamb and mint sauce. We also met up with Richard and Mr Selly and Sarah.

We left the festival and headed into town to meet up with Debbie and Jason for a last drink before heading home to sit in the garden and chat until the early hours.

Very fun (and drunken) day!
