Stockport Beer and Cider Festival 2009


Wow where do i begin. This occasion at Edgeley Park, home of the mighty Stockport County, has a lot of strange allure, its good fun but it shouldn't be.

We went down not expecting a lot, and boy were we not disappointed. The drinks were disgusting, actually, disgusting. There is a reason you can't buy them outside of Somerset... We drunk a 10.3% stout called 'Ring of Fire' (its made with chillies) and nearly vomited...the cider while tasting okay, smelt like Adams sock after a hard spin class...the 'Rest in Peace' strong beer and 'Outstanding Blond' weak beer were equally disturbing.

Despite this we had a great time and want to go again! I actually cannot tell you why...



and the famous 'Ring of Fire'...

  2. Beer Festival young TO? I got the impression you were more of a Pernod and Lemonade gentleman.

    It seems I still have a lot to learn about you.
