The August Pub Tasting...

The August public tasting was even bigger than the last! As always cheers to everyone who came out and judged the beers with us, it was a lol-and-a-half.

Again, thanks to everyone who came we had a great time throwing this shindig. Cheers also to the great staff at the Botany View Hotel who somehow managed to serve something like 150 beers to us in the space of roughly 20 minutes.
