I have my usual pilgramage to this awesome event this Friday afternoon/evening.  
As normal, it will be a most excellent evening and much real ale will be consumed :cheers:

If you are London based, then why not post here and we can arrange to meet up, I reckon I will be down at Olympia by about 6.00pm.

If you are near Milton Keynes or Watford then I have 2 places left in the stretch limousine that will be driving me and 10 others down to Olympia and back (whilst we drink free bubbly).  Costs £25 per person for the return trip, it will be leaving Milton Keynes at 3.30pm, picking up in Watford at 4.30pm and will be down at Olympia by about 6.00pm.  On the return trip it will drop off at Watford (2) and Milton Keynes.  We will be leaving Olympia at 10.30pm.  

If you are interested then post here.

Post Beer Festival Report:

Much ale was had of varying flavours, mild, bitter, stout, porters, cider, perry and of course the Champion Beer of Great Britain  :dribble:  All in all a very intoxicating experience!

A most awesome time was had and a commitment to go again next year was received.  Travelling there and back by Limo was most definitely a good decision, it made the whole thing a lot less hassle and far more fun.  Highly recommended :cheers:

I heard the Champion Beer was from 'The Fat Cat'. It's one of my locals, Kelham Island Brewery.  :D  :dribble:
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

It was Kelham Island, although I don't recall it being called The Fat Cat!  But it was _very_ good!
