NOT a Linux Topic, but I enjoyed this - so pass on by if you are not a seeker after quality beer, suitably located. A bit late to organize our own "beer hike" I suppose...

RE: 8th St.Neots Winter Ale Festival 24th-26th January (In progress) Probably the last "quiet" night, tonight...

LOCATION: St.Neots Football Club ( The link road "via low bridge" roundabout exit from the A428 westbound to Bedford )

A most relaxing evening sampling a variety of "Winter Warmer" CAMRA selected Beers. Unlike the bigger CAMRA festivals, this one in my town is well hidden, and off the beaten track... Just a couple of tables in a small annex beside the football club bar, also nearly empty (Thursday Night). The theme is a regional beer selection.

Hopefully it will be as quiet tonight (Friday) 7pm - 11pm

Saturday ( 6pm - 12pm ) is likely to be more of the usual crush.

I'll be there again, because the Tally-Ho (ABV 6.8% OG 1075) was still settling last night.

If no-one can rustle up transport, with a non-drinking driver, there is a bus service. Last bus back to Cambridge 2207 from the Centre of town ( allow 30mins to walk to nearest stop from the club ) Fare from Cambridge is just over 4 pounds. Entry to non CAMRA members 2-50 AFAIR.
