Wow what a week! All the time and effort that went into that festival definetely paid off eh! 3 fantastic nights full of great tipples, tunes, tastes and more. As those of you there on the Friday night would have been well aware of, we sold out of everything - YES EVERYTHING. Thats all the beer, all the cider, all the wine, all the mead GONE. And that was after buying more of everything on the Friday morning. Thanks to everyone who came along, I hope those of you who were virgins to the Warwick Real Ale Fest have been impressed and will be supping yourselves many more Real Ales from now on. Photos from the festival will be appearing on here very soon. Big shout to all the servers and people who made the festival what it was. Couldn't have done it without you. |

On saturday of week 2 we headed up to Manchester for the National Winter Ales festival and despite a poor turnout (be less shit those of you who didn't bother), those who made the effort to come had a wicked time. There were still many beers left at the fest despite it being the last day and we made sure to taste as many as we possibly could. We got very merry very fast and before we knew it, it was time to explore some more of Manchester. We passed on the first place we planned to go to due to the no under 25's rule! What the chuff!? We carried on and after Aaron lost a fight with David Cameron, we hit the old favourite The Marble Arch where the beer never disappoints. A couple more pubs were visited before we ended up in The Bank. Some of us were very much more drunk by others at this point. Big G took a nice nap whilst I rocked out some mulled wine - Mistake! The minibus finally turned up later in the evening and taxied 8 very merry and sleepy pissed twats back to campus. Good times. Check the photos here |

Saturday of week 2 took us to Oxford to sample the delights of their 12th annual beer festival and have a go at some of the pubs in the area. A good turn out of 21 thirsty faces made the trip and despite pretty much all the beers being sold out already we still managed to have a good few tasty halves before heading off around town at 3. This left us lots of time to enjoy pubs such as the Turf Tavern, Eagle and Child and the Lamb and Flag. A great time was had by all im sure, it was great to see some new faces, and as far as i know we didn't leave anyone behind :S Check out the photos here. There aren't a great deal as i spent a long time with my hands full; one with a drink, one with a glass full of pistachios! Not quite sure why. Hope to see you all again this Thursday! Cheers!!! |

No social in week 8, make sure to get yourself down to our festival instead! Come along on Thursday of Week 10 to celebrate the end of the current exec's time working hard to keep you guys tipsy, and welcome those who will continue to do so throughout the next 3 terms. As usual we'll be heading to one of our old favourites, Whitefriars, in Coventry. Its majestic old timber frame and rustic vibe provide the perfect setting for such an important event - never mind the fact that they always serve fantastic beer to a very high quality. Of course, if you had your eye on a position on the next exec you NEED to attend this social. Meet as usual in the duck at 6:30 and we'll move on about 7:20. |

Unfortunately our week 6 social didn't really happen due to the crap load of snow that suddenly hit us on that Thursday night. Continue reading to find out about the last social before that....What a beast of a social! My god I was drunk, and my god was I hungover the day afterwards. After planning only to go to Inspire for "1 or 2" we ended up getting caught up in the charms of the open mic night, the awesome beers, and the fantastic atmosphere. Apologies to those that really wanted to head onto the Old Windmill and The Gatehouse but the majority wanted to stay, and quite rightly so. The staff were extremely welcoming and really know their stuff about what they sell. We were spoilt for choice on drinks with all types of really interesting and proper tasty bottled beers from around Europe and the rest of the world. I made sure to take advantage of the strong dark lagers - some up to 11% abv. When in Rome eh! - or in a chuch spire. Alex rocked out some tunes on the geetar and I even bashed out some beats on the tambourine and drums. Shame I can't post the video of us playing Hey Ya but check the photos here. Hilarious! Got us some free drinks too, what a bonus! We HAVE TO go back there again. A fantastic night I think everyone will agree. |

We're all back, and alive (just about!). I'm sure all who went on the servers tour to Prague will agree that they had an 'effin brilliant time - even me and Aaron who spent a night at the local hospital, and Justin who's face got a bit too friendly with some local fists. Highlights for me included pubs like U Fleku where they brought out 22 beers and shots for us before we'd finished sitting down and then played us hilarious accordian music, the Monastery Brewery which was definitely worth the walk up that mighty hill, and of course U Bubenicku just around the corner from the hostel with the great dark beer Kozell, massive tits all over the walls, and fruit in the urinals. Craziness. Just wish I'd been around to see Bill the Drink ask for some milk from the very busty waitress at Gecko. A great time had by all and some very funny moments. Check out the photos here. Dekuji !!! |
