I got down to the Holiday Ale Festival with some long time home brewers to sample some winter ales (Ben and his Crew). This festival has an excellent selection of dark ales and gives a good chance to sample porters, stouts, Imperial stouts and English Ales. I hope to be back down on Saturday to try some more.

Sign by the entry spell out some of the rules.
Looking down on the tents of the main floor. The whole place is heated so I should not have brought a heavy coat.
