September 21, 20214 yr It’s at the stadium these days isn’t it? Only been once since it moved from the rugby club and wasn’t keen. Carpeted floors don’t feel right at a beer festival.
September 21, 20214 yr Just now, Tonge moor green jacket said: Where's that? Gods country in Lancashire La la La
September 21, 20214 yr Kinell, went when it was at the silverwell centre. Howcroft too. Don't recall the rugby club.

September 21, 20214 yr I preferred the CAMRA festival myself, mainly because I volunteered and supped for free

September 21, 20214 yr Crossing over with another thread, was once at the beer festival at the Howcroft and saw a teacher who had cracked me across the face a couple of times at secondary school. Was well into the night and thought to myself "right you cunt payback time" and was going over when someone I'd not seen for years came over to me and distracted me. Saved me from an extended trip to GERMANY that wouldn't really have been worth it.
