it this the forum where an extreme beer drinking thread would be appropiate?
Speaking of which, I've just had a bottle of Poppyland's On The Edge Saison (the Hallertau Hersbrucker / Cascade version rather than the Bobek version, FWIW) from our Local Specialist Beer Shop That's Round The Corner From Our House. It's fairly great - sort of halfway between a lambic and a hoppy pale ale, with wild yeast graunchyness balanced by bitter-fruity hops. Straight outta Cromer.TBH I can't really be arsed heading down to London and then paying to get into a beer festival when I can get loads of beers locally that I haven't tried or even heard of before.
i went to the craft beer festival.
St Ambroise, Creemore, KLB, Sleemans, Kokanee, Muskoka, McAuslan, Muskoka, Wellington, Brick, Big Rock. Then there are the Quebec ones like Blanche de Chambly and the ones with the weird label art and names like Fin du Monde, Maudite
the festival was a bit shit. most beers were pretty foul. siren and weird beard probably the worst but had a lot of competition. had one extraordinary beer which was the kernels London sour. otherwise average to poor.

ill be honest i was mainly enticed by the shape of the bottle, but it tastes nice, not too rich but a good depth of flavour
