So far ......
Things are moving pretty fast at the moment with suppliers sending me massive lists of beers available to us - there must be over 250 !!!!! I have to choose about 20 of them so that should be fun .
The search is on for the additional 9 handpulls I need to fill the bar to give us a total of 12 and some scaffolding poles to make up some racks in the cellar - not panicking yet though as we have plenty of time I just need to beg steal and borrow to save cash for the Ales.
I have to say Punch Taverns support is very impressive and I think I will owe my BRM Kevin a few beers at the Festival.
Well thats all for now as I have to pack something for a night away ( time off is very precious).........bye for now.

First Beer Fest meeting
Well I wasn't really planning to do a beer festival yet however my regional manager dropped a pack in so we thought why the hell not .
After looking at the vast space we have on the bar I had a quick calculation and reckon if we get rid of the fosters temporarily we can squeeze an additional 9....... yes 9 Handpulls on there to make a total of 12 with a bit of chopping and changing.
The Cellar
There is loads of room down there so space is not a massive issue as long as we have 2 high racks scaffolding poles should do the job nicely .I may have to make a big hole for the lines to go through it's good luck that I have a hammer so this should not be a major problem.
The Beers
My initial thoughts are 20 different ones in total and maybe a Pin ( 4.5 Gall) of lumpy cider on the back bar.
This may change as I think about it.
Soooo here we go on the journey of my first Beer festival at The Fish
