Long Itchington Beer Festival
To celebrate the start of the bank holiday weekend we
decided that we'd head off down the canal to Long Itchington
for their beer festival. The festival itself was held in six
pubs all over the village and participants could walk
between pubs to sample their ales. We set off in high
spirits at around 12:15 and had a most pleasant walk and
arrived at the Two Boats on the canalside at around 13:40.
We scampered straight to the bar and started the day with a
pint of Nettle Thrasher which was around 4% if I recall. The
Two Boats was conducting canal boat rides during the day,
but we were just happy to sit in the sun and sup some ale.
Next up on the menu was a pint of Monkmans Slaughter, an
incredibly fruity ale at 6%, and it was absolutely
delicious.
