WsM Beer Fest. I'M GOING IN! Shell Suits At The Ready

Post by vacant »

I'm a frequent visitor to WsM including several Bike Nights each summer. I quite like the place even though it's so tacky* . There's a beer festival at the Pier 17/18th March. Now, they have teamed up with Butcombe's but do Butcombe's mention it on their web site? Do they hell. Bit of an embarrassment perhaps?

* I once worked out that WsM has 100 times more drug rehab places than the national average. I was a bit shocked when I went into a chemist on the Boulevard, shop was no bigger than my living room but there was a 6'5" security guard next to the pharmacist

Sweet, when you heading down? Reckon I could probably make it to the station without serious repercussions...
Long live SHA(T)!

I'm planning Saturday lunch time. I can't see a list of beers anywhere and can't be arsed to email them, but going with low expectations mean things can only get better, right?

Overwhelming Twelve beers at the WsM Pier Beer Fest. I only managed four (piccy here) and you get to drink outside if you want, with the waves below you and fantastic views - way better than standing in a crowd in the Bristol Beer Festival .... I wager.

Truth be told, it was empty. So downed a Rare Breed, TTL, No7 and Classic Gold plus a sip of Colley's Dog while chatting to some locals and was done in a couple of hours.

edit: yes, I spotted the Butcombe's Gold/Classic image mix up - it's Weston, get over it
