Absolutely heaving down the seafront and a lot of beer was being consumed at the beer tent. Barrels were disappearing very quickly. Good to see so many people having a good time.

The Beer Festival is found in Ramsgate, Kent.

A beer festival of sorts along with a funfair, market and water-skiing. Third year running, originally had powerboats, but that's been exchanged for water-skiing.

We have visited this Beer Festival once, seen 7 different beers and tried 5 of them.
