So you went to a BEER festival, and we only get these lousy shots from it?

in beersaturday •  5 years ago 

By now we all know (and very much love the #beersaturday competition. If you don’t know this competition weekly hosted by the beloved @detlev , you are missing out on something. This competition has been going strong for over 100 weeks and that is actually a crazy amount of time!

Last weekend I visited the beer festival in Edinburgh which was hosted at ‘the biscuit factory’ in an old factory building. Three stories high and all kinds of breweries from all different countries were invited to give exposure to their own crafts. I sticked to my plan to only try IPA’s as that is currently my field of interest, and boy did I have a chance to try a lot of them. With the regular tasting glass (not the one shown in the picture above) the idea was to try as many as different IPAs as possible.

Now the friends I was with all have this cool app where you can take pictures of you beer and instantly rate it and I saw that we tried over 40 different ones over the weekend. I didn’t take my phone to the festival because I had forgotten my international charger and I needed a full phone to fly home with. So no rates and pics from me! If you ask for the one that I like the most? I honestly don’t know. I know I really liked a beer called ‘man overboord’ but don’t really recall from what brewery that this was (was this due to the amount of beer, or due the amount of different beers?? I dont know). So the only pictures that I am going to bring you guys, are lousy pics from the IPA that I got in a very cheesy pub on my way to the airport.. pictures or it never happened, Karin!!!

So evaluating after this weekend, apart from that this was an awesome meetup with friends from 3 different countries, it was also a super nice tasting event. If you have a chance to go next year..surely do!!

yeah the beer culture is realyl turning out the good way and not just only lager and guinness anymore...good stuff!

I was positively surprised by the landscape as well up north....totally a reason to head back over there to those schotties!!

I really need to join your #beersaturday 😃

It is..the one and only..the legendary....DERSJOERD!!!!

Take a picture of your first beer, then drink a bunch more and forget about photos. Sounds about right to me! :D

hahahaha exactly! something totally went wrong making pictures of beers, but getting home on the last day with a eticket and a phone which wouldnt charge wasnt a bad thing to actually consider I found :D

good stuff though!

I love to attend these beer festivals, they just don't happen to regularly here in South Africa!!
Here is a nice !BEER token for you.

yeaaaaah thx Ry!!

They are happening more and more here, but not as much as I would like in Switzerland. Thats why my run up North to the British to attend this festival, and it was totally worth it!

YES!!

If I would know the name I would tell you, but it gives you a chance to add in the gigantic database with a picture, the flavour and your rank from it. Good stuff!

You inspired me to look into beer apps and I found Untapped. I’m not sure if this is what you saw but I’m going to have fun keeping track of my beers now :)

Cheers!

Untapped!!! That is exactly the one that they used!
