Alton Winter Beer Festival 2005

Warm welcome and Festival glass on entry
Drinking in the main hall

Ticking off the 36 (!) ales as they go
Now do I do that one again, or try another??
Do it with friends
Now who do did what to who??
Sea shanties were on the menu this time
Getting stuck in
... and stunning bar staff too!
It's the way he tells them
Caption please?

The rush is on to dispense 2,500 pints during the Festival day
You don't have to be a crusty old codger to enjoy real ale








A couple of serious participants appreciate the selection of ales
Inspiration point reached
Ascention point reached
Barking bar staff can't stop beer lovers coming back for more each time
And when the organisers are like this ... what do you expect at the Festival?
