Do they sell lager?

(hides with Thulsa)

I'm going there on the Friday - should be there from about 5.00pm until it closes at 10.30pm.  If anyone else is going then let me know and we'll see if we can meet up.

Is there any good beer at the festival?  Mmmm, why not take a look at the beer list for this year's festival which I have attached?  There's also several hundred bottled normal. fruit, speciaility and foreign beers, along with about 60 ciders and perries.  SO I reckon you'll be ok to find something that suits your palate.............

TL.

To be honest - and please don't flame me - I don't like British beer all that much...

(When I do drink British it is Wychwood's Hobgoblin.)

I am a Belgian Beer fan - mainly trappist ale around 8-10 vol.

And despite being a Scot I avoid whisky (as it makes me very aggressive) - so these days my favourite short is Stolly and Kummel ('Silver Bullet').

Favourite Belgian tipple when out is Leffe Blonde (quite easy to get in the pubs these days).

You mean you don't like "Caledonian OSA" or "Youngers No 3"? My god man go see a doctor ;)

I'm a big Wheat Beer fan.
Fav atm is Tesco's French Wheat Beer as its cheaper than hoegaarden beer, but tastes same/better.

Top tip! :thumbsup:

As someone who like Hoegaarden I'll try to seek out the Tesco variety :cheers:

Wow, looks like a nice thing to go to.
For me my favourite beer is still Grolsch but you guys new that allready. My favourite Belgian beer is: Duvel... 8)
Hoegaarden is really nice but I would like to know how you guys would pronounce that  :devil: .  ;)

Gotta be Kronenberg mmmmmmmm
