1st Burton & South Derbyshire CAMRA Spring Beer Festival Friday 28th March 2008
The Spring Festival replaces the old Winter Festival previously held at the end of January. It was very similar, although there was now a good selection of less strong beers to complement the higher gravity ones. I have written about about trips to Burton Beer Festivals so often now it gets difficult to find something new to say. I suppose I could say that we have come to rely on Burton Festivals to be consistently excellent, that's why we keep attending. This one was no different! We travelled by train, as usual; it rained, as usual; the beers were in excellent condition, as usual; Martin Atterbury was entertaining on his Mighty Organ, as usual; beer prices had gone up slightly, as usual; we ended the day at the Cooper's Tavern, as usual; the trains back were crammed full, as usual. It's good to know some things never change!!
