The event was done on a voucher basis which sped up serving and meant I knew exactly how many I'd had a the end of the day (having cleared my £19 worth of vouchers)
I'll admit I didn't tick off all the beers I had and had to do a little guess work the next day to cross of the last few, but of the ones I marked my favourites were:
Blue Monkey - BG Sips
http://www.bluemonkeybrewery.com/
Bristol Beer Factory - No7
http://www.bristolbeerfactory.co.uk/
Cross Bay - Nightfall
http://www.crossbaybrewery.co.uk/Cross_Bay_Brewery/Home.html
All of the above I would describe as good session beers, with great flavour and easily quaffable!
I had the Rev James on draft but not sure if it came out quite right - it certainly didn't appeal as much as i'd hoped it would.
I definitely had the Kent Cobnut - which was a bit too roasted for my tastes.
After which I believe I had:
East London Brewery - Nightwatchman
Itchen Valley - Godfathers
St Austell - Tribute
and
Rebellion IPA
To my shame I didn't comment on these but if they'd been horrendous I would've remembered! I'm almost certain I enjoyed the Itchen Valley as much as the ones above!! I've had Tribute many times before and liked it - in fact I'd like to think I might do a brewery tour at St Austell this year!!
Still when you are handed your festival glass this way - whose to complain!! You certainly don't get that at the GBBF!
