I’m working with the Trust on a very special beer festival on June 01st.

Lots of local beers from Axholme, Docks, Bricknell and also some other U.K. craft and real ales. Masala Masters will also be doing Indian street food. It’s our first go but hopefully the first of many.

Lots of hard work going in to it so please come and support it if you’re around. Utm.

Will it be at the ground?

Yes. Probably should’ve mentioned that.

Will probably nip down to that in the afternoon.

sodomist bollox damn. Im working
Might drop in for a pint later

Can I drink in view of the pitch?

Yes.

Masala Masters were very tasty when you had them at MIAB.

What is Indian Street Food?

Great idea, I’ll be there.

Quoted from pizzzza

What is Indian Street Food?

It's the type of food that street vendors would sell (and probably make on the spot).

Just finalised the supplies for our first (and hopefully annual) beer festival. Thanks to our friends at Message In A Bottle we have managed to source some great beers and ciders. Plenty of food available to soak it up and live music from a variety of local talents. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.

What there is left of it   ;)

Great idea. I will be there.

Sounds great, would definitely be going if I wasn't away on holiday. All the best with it!

May be empty before 8 though as Champions League final on this day.  Maybe could have held it till later and showed this on the big screen

Sounds a plan . :)

The match will be on the TVs in the bar.

Showing the 2nd half as well might be an idea, though!  

Still sounds like a great event.

Any present / past players there? Mike beerly or Alan buckfastley

No entry fee Andy.. 8)

Yep definitely free entry.

Will be a cracking day and then showing champions league final in the bar as well. Hopefully it’s well supported. This year is an experiment with a view to doing something even bigger next summer.

Two of us coming mid afternoon. Looking forward to it.

Will the game be shown in its entirety? (I notice that the end time for the festival is 9pm).

I think I'm looking forward to the food almost as much as I am the beer! I'll nip in for a couple of pints early on before I have to depart.

I seem to remember GTFC fans draining a beer festival dry at one away game.....hope you'll be well stocked

Willy's Caballero?

And I trust all those attending who plan to have a few beers will be getting the bus or a taxi, or cadging a lift with DES.

Hi. Yes it will as far as I’m aware. We went with the 9pm finish from the beginning but believe it’s flexible.

Hurst won’t be there because he’s (allegedly) not bitter

If there's any chance of seeing Mr Fenty up the floodlights with his hacksaw I'll be there.

If not I'll still pop in anyway   :)

Been down there this morning.

Sharon (who deserves all the credit for organising everything) confirmed the whole champions league match will be shown tonight.

There’s outside seating (with pool and table football) in the area between the findus and osmond which is a great sun trap plus you get to inspect the humpless pitch!

Childcare fallen through so I can't make it along.  >:(. Somebody have a pint (or three) for me.

Just been in. Very good effort. Only had two as I’m out tonight.
But well recommended 🍺👍😄

Good turnout, pleased I went and ended up in "message in a bottle" on the way home.

Excellent turnout. Well done to all involved.

Good event.   Enough to improve on next year,   Cracking

Great festival for a first one. Food was gorgeous as well. Hope it is the first of many.
My best mates Robin and Jane would have loved it.

Did Alan Beer, ex-professional footballer, drop in?
