stockport beer and cider festival 2013

[binka]

anyone going? been living in manchester for 7 of the last 10 years and never yet made the effort. i do drink real ale so obviously that's a good reason to go however it does mean going to stockport...

i meant i've never pictured you as a pot-bellied pub bore

beer festivals are lot more cosmopolitan these days - there'll be beer bores, but also loads (and fucking loads) of everyone else. in fact, i can't come to the stockport festival 'cause it's my mate's beer festival that weekend. which is a fucking riot if you fancy a trip to the west...

ah i see. well no obviosuly im not but i wouldn't necessarily feel out of place - make a nice change for me in fact

 

[The Boy]

Yeah, I'd be up for this. Beer festivals are fun, right up to the point you decide to end the night with a 9% cider.

I might have a gander at this as well. Only a train ride for me. Is there a potential Urban meet up here then?

Neither have they so long as you don't cook.

[Firky]

Ordinarily I'd say yes but this is you we're talking about.

are you planning on coming to the stockport beer and cider festival Firky?

 

[Firky]

Given that I've had a liver transplant, I'd think it would be a bad idea

 

[binka]

well fuck off out of my topic then!

 

[Firky]

 

[binka]

well the big event is one week away and i'm delighted to see this topic has really taken off. me and my housemates are about 70% sure we're definitely going

 

[The Boy]

When is everyone thinking of heading there? I've no idea if I've even got any time offthat weekend but will check when I'm in later.

 

[friedaweed]

I'm off camping with the nipper tomorrow. If I'm back I may head over on the train on Sat for an afternoon sesh. If the weather improves though I may stay up in the hills with the lad living on home brew and lamb chops

 

[binka]

well this didn't happen. will try again next year

 

[The Boy]

Yeah, I ended up having to work all weekend.
