12:30 and its packed out. Weather made all the difference. But the bars were not busy at all. And the Real Ale bar was depleted by at least 50%, but still plenty to go at. Nice day around the City though, with most bods here.
last knockings - only four or five ales left - both OK but I probably missed the pick - must try harder next year
Packed. Bit uncomfortable throughout Canterbury with soo many people.
Arrived midday, sunny afternoon supping good beer, splendid. Must have just missed Andrew,met Kevin. Had a good chat with Tom from the Foundry about his Saison and a long chat with a couple of brewers from Herts.
