Day Three. After twelve years, decided to give the Cowshed the big heave ho' this year and do a third day at this huge extravaganza. And the weather has held this year too. So much to see and do and respite came when I chanced upon some more Real Ale?

Shepherd Neame - War & Peace Ale3.50ExcellentFound in Ginger's Bar. Very refreshing.
Nottingham - Real English Ale5.00ExcellentStumbled upon this, a stall at a Veggie cafe called Tin Crumpet, opposite Ginger's Bar. Very good too. A Raspberry Wheat type had sold out earlier and three bottles, also from Tin Crumpet, were on offer too. All sampled were very good, organic types.
