BEER FEST

I'll be there

Is there a phone nu to book tickets or do you have to call at one of the pubs?

Really want to go on Saturday night, but have no ticket. Does anyone have 2 spares I could purchase, or any idea if i'd have a chance of getting in if I just turn up?

I think on Saturday they have 300 tickets at the door on a first come first served basis, i would get there early though as it will be busy, it was busy last night and it was a thursday and we left at 8.15pm but the place was getting really busy, hate to think how busy it did get.

The only weird thing was NONE of the hand pulls had sparklers on them, when i asked the organiser why he replied they ruin the ale ?
even though the beers were good dont expect them to have any head, bloody strange for Northern beer

The Leeds Beer Festival gets the same and it frustrates me why CAMRA don't change the venues sometimes to accommodate more people and a bit more space. I go to enjoy the beer not have elbow fights all day/ night.

Is it not 300 tickets on the door tonight, but advance tickets only on Saturday? I hope you're right though!

Mark, only for the sakes of hygiene, no sparkler means they don't put put the swan-neck in the glass when pouring (so don't transfer germs and bugs from drinker to drinker).

Your Ghyll Guzzler was on fine form, a good sessionable ale

Thank you it as been well recieved at the Greyhound to, tastes better on draught though than straight from the barrel,
The Saltaire Five Rise Pale was also on cracking form, just too many beers and not enough time.
