No plans as such but feel like a night out somewhere different soon. I worked in Farnborough in the 70's at a well known establishment there, used to drink in The Swan.

I never venture over to Farnborough(well apart from tomorrow when I'm going to a Big Fat Gypsy wedding reception). Churchy reckoned he be over this way at some point.

Nope. Close though.

Why you heading down?

Fantastic. That had to be Suity, Nick Fitz and Norrahe.

Classic.

No Houston Brewery ales. Local place to me attached to an excellent pub & restaurant. Peter's Well closely followed by Killellan are among the best beers I've tasted. Only available around Newcastle outside of Scotland I think except for festivals.

+1 for Dark Star's ales. The Oakham Ales Bishop's Farewell is worth a try. Purity's Pure Gold will inevitably be excellent too

Wasn't planning to share. He can sleep downstairs.

Don't be ridiculous. You'll be sharing the shed/gutter with Suity (and his curry).

Anyone who likes ale spot anything they think I should try? Or a brewery that is known good?

I think you will have a lot of good beer tonight, thats an awesome list they have on. I'm very jealous.
I'm a big fan of the southern ales due to the harder water (unlike tea its a good thing for beer), and there is a serious representation from the south at that festival.

Some breweries and ales that get my approval:

DarkStar (one of my faves)
Oakleaf (Nuptu Ale)
Purity
Rebellion (roasted nuts is a tasty pint)
Tring
Vale
St Austell
Brewdog (usually very very hoppy if you like that sort of thing, and you dont often see them on cask so you're lucky to see three!)

If I was there I would be venturing for some of the breweries I've not sampled from cornwall or devon.

Watch out though, hubby off to a beer bash, might come home sloshed and may not be agreeable to the idea of you sharing his bed and his wife.
