Horns Lodge Beer Festival, South Chailey

Yesterday went over to Chailey with Mike and Rosalind to see Graeme and Annie and go to the beer festival at the Horns Lodge. We arrived early afternoon. Mike had brought two packs of four of a range of badger beers. We drunk them before walking down to the pub for the festival.

It was a lovely sunny day so we decided to drink the Badger ales out in the garden with another friend which we call English Graham.

Horn's Lodge pub

The pub is right on the main road and is a fair walk from Graeme’s place.
At the pub we bought ten half pint tickets, in which each ticket is worth £1.45, or £2,90 for a pint.

We soon worked out that if you use your souvenir pint glass you get a really decent half that is way above the half pint line. Anyway these are the beers that I drunk -




Box Stream Funnel Blower (4.5% ABV)
Salopian Oracle (4.0 % ABV)
Leeds Midnight Bell (4.* % ABV)
Burton Bridge Golden Flame (4.5 % ABV)
Elland Andromeda (5.) % ABV)
Thornbridge Kipling (5.2 % ABV)
Dark Star Revelation (5.7 % ABV)
RCH Collaboration (6.0 % ABV)

We also had a lovely Thai red Curry dish each.

We slept at Graeme and Annie’s place overnight. Had a wonderful quiet sleep and after coffee we left to get some food at a farm shop and had brunch at my brother’s place.

Took loads of pictures with the camera. Here are some more.
