This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

There are beer festivals coming up everywhere!
I recommend Devizes at the start of July.
If you can get a driver over the weekend one of the pubs in Devizes, The Southgate, has a beer festival all weekend - very laid back with a good choice of beers and a BBQ.

Apparently there's a beer festival thing at the Glue Pot over Easter Weekend.

This one isn't the CAMRA run one. Apparently it's a fairly new event held in a church somewhere. Think it may be in May sometime |

Might be the Christchurch one. Would feel a bit weird getting pissed in a church.

The one in the church on Bath Road in Old Town only started last year I think, but a mate said it was good if that's the one you're thinking of?

Was thinking of going to that but the word on the street is that it is not very good. Has anyone been to one there before? |

Doesn't the Glue Pot have a permanent beer festival on? Any pub that, as a minimum, has 8 or more real ales on draft gets my vote.  |

No idea to be honest, like Ardiles says, they already have a pretty decent array of ales anyway, so a one pub beer festival just sounds like a ploy to get more punters in  I am possibly going in there on Monday before the match, we'll see. |

Went to the Christ Church one last time and it was pretty good with 15 beers in each alcove each side of the altar. I commented to the vicar that the last time I walked towards the altar was some 28 years ago as a scout for church parade! Haven't they put it on Cup Final day though?
