Plug for my nearest beer festival, only realised it was on recently and sadly I'll be on holiday!

One thing I can guarantee, if its a nice day you couldn't ask for a better location, overlooking a cricket field with old English church in the background, what could be better. (BR station only 5 minutes walk away!)
I just hope its the start of an annual thing.
Some nice beers on offer too!

Garlic Beer
When in the Isle of Wight this year I bought a bottle of Garlic Beer, from, not surprisingly, The Garlic Farm. (Which incidentally do some fantastic relishes!)
Rather naively I thought it'd be a beer with a hint of garlic.
Initially, on opening the bottle I made the mistake of not checking that it was bottled conditioned, however I not sure that really mattered, as the beer wasn't really pouring that well out of the neck due to the whole garlic plugging its exit!!
Now I like garlic, garlic bread, Boursin cheese spread, pizza .... can I add garlic beer to that ... no.
Can I re-iterate that, no, no, no and no.
To be honest I barely took a sip, I didn't have to.
Does anyone repeat buy, other than just repeat!
