Great festival, not been since it's moved. I wouldn't be drinking any stouts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Got home a few hours ago, I'm hungover on the same day. Jesus christ. Started with a half of an old favourite of mine, Storming the Emperor's Castle, at 11:30 this morning. 13.5% of stouty deliciousness, and my highlight of the day. I got a couple of bottles of the cherry/bourbon infused version to bring home, which they'd sadly ran out of in cask days before. Magpie was in second place, a tie between a strawberry/vanilla stout, and a passionfruit/marshmellow stout. Two brilliant imperials around 8%, with some very generous pours from their head brewer who was happy to spend ages talking about them. their classic cherry stout, Cherry Raven, was available, but I can get my hands on that in local shops so I gave that a miss. Delicious stuff that's well worth a go, though. Other highlights were a mango/guava sour from Vault City, and a 13% smoked stout from Holy Goat called Goatsmoke. Also had a blueberry and mocha stout (about 6%, I'd call it a session beer) from Shipstones, well worth a go if you get the chance. Dishonourable mention for Brecon Brewing's 10% dark IPA named "mind bleach". Flat, rancid shite that went down the drain after a sip. The day was broken up with a nice view over Trent Bridge cricket ground, and curry and samosas from Memsaab, but sadly I was pissed and on the way home before the live music started.

Funny thing, despite the time of year everytime I've been to Nottingham beer festival it's been a lovely sunny day, and the people I used to go with who had been going there for longer say the same. It ought to be odds on for shit weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
