Beer with twigs in

[suzie_shooter]

Went to the St Ives Beer Festival last night - the Husband does the printing for the local CAMRA events and the company gets a supporter's pack which includes an invite to the preview evening. And *that* means an hour and a half to sample the wares, for free, before the public get their hands on it the next day.

You get a tasting glass which is (I think) about half a pint, maybe a bit less. I managed seven different beers in that hour and a half. And I tell you what, in a room predominently full of men and beards, a pair of red leather trousers don't half get you ushered to the front and served quicker, heh.

They lay on free food too, stuff like local cheese and pickles and pork pie and apple and beetroot - our sampling was going well up to the point we encountered what turned out to be a coffee flavoured cheese. Eww.

We're going again tomorrow, on the train this time so the Husband can drink. We've got free entry to the main event, and a free pint glass, and some free beer tokens. Result!
