Overrated things: Beer festivals.

[Sir C]

You would hate a beer festival. HATE IT. Far more than me.

I had a lovely afternoon at a beer festival about 10 years ago, sitting outside the hall watching a village cricket match. A proper John Major afternoon.

I saw one advertised as featuring 200 beers, once. What's the point in that? You're going to die after the first 60.

Yes, if you can find a place to sit and decent people to talk to, it's fine. But all too often, it means being surrounded by sweaty, ale-farting men in a village hall or similar. Shíte.
