Greatness in all its Glory

Instead of trying to accurately describe a day at the GBBF, I thought it easier to list the people I can remember meeting. The GBBF is not only the best place in the UK to sample great beer it is also a collection of the loveliest people in the UK. After meeting the following perhaps it was no surprise that I fell asleep on the 18:06 from Paddington and nearly missed my stop. It was great to see you and we must do it all again next year!

Great to see you too - and you're right, that mix of people is unique.

WOW that's hell of a mix, I wish I'd met some of those...the whole day was a massive blur...that will serve me right for starting the day with stupid strong IPA's full of chilli...
