Should we erect a memorial to HWM for his courage under fire?

NOTE FOLKS that we don't have to wait until the autumn for the the next beer festival. The weekend of the Guinness PRO12 playoffs - 22-23 May 2015 sees a new festival in Titanic Quarter - http://www.abvfest.com/#header
Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
Good of the powers that be to make it the same weekend as the Sarries game.
The Christmas market will be up and running too so I'm very much looking forward to my first trip over of the season from a drinking point of view.
Tickets for The Proclaimers at Mandela Hall on Saturday as well!

Deliberate or accident?

A few of us planning getting there about 2.30pm on Friday 20th November but don't panic we will only be getting Facepaint on & into our Onesies at 5pm in nearby Office where we will also leave the flegs.

Plenty of people in late on Saturday afternoon, although I was still feeling a little tender after drowning my sorrows on Friday.
The heather ale from Williams proved to have restorative qualities of the highest order.

Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
A good few large half pints pre match last Friday resulted in total memory loss of second half of the game. Happy days.
And Weatherspoons (Forty Foot) Dun Laoghaire this Friday from a similar time should hopefully have same effect on me for the Leinster V Ulster game

Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
That quality paper the Bel Tel had a story on Monday about a lack of beer at the beer festival this year. This is nothing new, went to it a few years back on the Saturday and a lot of the beers were sold out.
Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
Tele 'journalist' probably put in a bulk order for whatever beer was left, so he could write the story about there being a shortage.Neill_M wrote:That quality paper the Bel Tel had a story on Monday about a lack of beer at the beer festival this year.

Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
And of course if there was a lot of beer left at the end of Saturday night it would have to be thrown away and the festival would make a loss, without serious increase in prices. This actually happened when the ulster Hall was closed for refurbishment and the festival moved out to the Balmoral showground. A lot less people attended, vast amount of beer was thrown away and the viability of further beer festivals in Belfast was seriously questioned.
Re: Belfast Beer & Cider Festival 2015
Indeed.
That story was a load of rubbish.
It was hardly a shock that the champion beer had sold out was it?!
It's a good event.
I reckon the music may have been a touch loud but maybe that's just me getting old.
