A site for real ale lovers (and other drinkers) to share experiences.
ROC had left for his stint working in Germany, which just left PV and MG as the only attendees from Mengo to have been to every Farnham Beerex.

After travelling the country the GBBF returned to the South and in the second year at the Brighton Metropole we decided to visit. Camping, along with our better halves, some way away from the venue, we only managed to visit for the lunchtime session.
The beer was already running out fast and most of the smaller breweries beers had already gone. We were left with stuff we would not normally bother to try.
