Impressive list.

Had to laugh at

The Da Vinci Toad

 

[unclepumble]

That certainly is a good resume of beers, Are they trying to give the Camra Winter ales a run for its money?

Impressive list.

The Da Vinci Toad

Toad are my local brewery, have only been going about a year but turning out some good stuff.

We will be going on either Friday or Saturday. The Rotherham festival is always massive and VERY well attended. Last year they were turning people away by 8 ish on the Friday (or was it the year before)

I think you will struggle to find a better or bigger festival, buy tickets in advance though particularly if you are travelling.

[leeboozer]

hope change of venue dont spoil the atmosphere ,old place thomas rotherham college had a real sense of a proper night out moving from different areas of school with different regional ales seemed like you were moving from pub to pub much better than one great big hall, lets hope organisers keep this in mind and section areas off , usually a great event been last 4 years now get yourselfs along [fri and hopefully sat for me] :

 

[46.philh]

I have the same worry, it was something special being at the school.

Wednesday night for us, ( work sponsor a barrel) then should be back saturday, but they start running low / out by then.

 

[Vindiv8]

We are goimg Saturday, easier with work. Is there a secret forum handshake so we all know each other? :wha:

Woohoo! That's my beer!

 

[46.philh]

My head is just coming back from last night and will be going back in again tonight at 7pm!

Much bigger than oak wood. Still got all the different rooms, and you could get lost. :)

Bigger stages and better sound quality from the set-ups.

You need a coat as normal.

No colour coding on the beers types this year which is a shame.

(Towards the end of the night it used to be easier to just to pick out the coloured pump posters for the type of beer you were after.)
