Spoonfest

Well sort of; most branches had but 2 or 3 of the guest brewers ales, apart from 2 city centre ones where they'd already run out! Disappointing.

I thought it was a bit rubbish as well. The old geezers in my local Spoons like the powerful six percenters. I can't stand them because I want to drink 8-10 pints. So my local only had a few drinkable beers for the whole fest.

I was extremely pleased with the festival mild, a 4.5 per cent dark mild called "Mild the Gap". It was a guest brew, made by an Italian at Hook Norton. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. I made several visits to my local Spoon's for that beer alone.
