I was going on the Friday but the wife has just reminded me that we have a wedding to go to on the Saturday.

Might try and do Thursday and have an easy day at work Friday sound like a plan..

[greenxpaddy]

Priorities!!!

[barney]

Paddy have you got us some free tickets?

[Twistedfinger]

Priorities!!!

Thought I might be able to make it for the last couple of hours but it don't finish till 9.30, its in Bury, and its the first night.

[pas8280]

I hate to echo Paddys sentiment but isn't college a weekly thing and the Bolton beer fest yearly ?
Priorities dear boy

[greenxpaddy]

Paddy have you got us some free tickets?

Jeez. It's only a few quid, and it is for charity....

That means no. Sorry, didn't occur to me to ask.

[barney]

Bloody hell, Thought they would have threw a few your way with "donating" two firkins.

I already give lots and lots to charity.

[greenxpaddy]

They pay full whack on the beer. Make on the entry and sales.

I'll buy you a few pints to cheer you up

[barney]

I will be entering next year then.

Having just had the obligatory late night kebab I write this trying very hard not to be obviously screwed, which I am. However, i am cock-a-hoop because a beer I brewed for the Bolton Beer Festival was one of two that was first depleted out of 200!!.

I mention this because I knew nothing of brewing 18 months ago. And it is important to thank jims for their free resource and also to encourage those like me that with dedication they can brew beer to astound the masses, that far excel mainstream brewery.

Anyone can do it, with a little help from their friends.

He He He,

Congratulations Matt, you must be tremendously proud. It must be a special feeling to watch your beer selling like hot cakes.

Fingers crossed it gets some kind of festival prize.

Congratulations must also go to the organisers of the Bolton Festival who give the young up and coming brewers the opportunity to showcase their wares.

Another excellent piss up
