Overrated things: Beer festivals.

[IUFG]

Drinking warm beer out of plastic cups - usually while while standing up and surrounded by the sort of people (let's face it: men) who attend beer festivals. You end up drinking several beers you don't like rather than just sticking with one you do (as you would in a pub) and paying an entry fee for the privilege.

Balls to that.

Oh god, yes. dreadful events. dreadful people.

The thing is, I love real ale and actually think CAMRA did important work back in the day defeating the evil of keg bitter. But the fact remains that the movement attracts the sort of men who use terms like 'quaffable', 'floral notes' and 'chocolatey malt' when describing beer. Headgear, basically.

Around here there are plenty of Adnams and Greene King pubs that do some fairly nice ales.

For the uninitiated, what is or was keg bitter?

in short - cask beers finish the brewing process in the barrel. A Keg beer has been already brewed and is ready to drink.

You can still get keg bitters in places like cross-channel ferries and football matches. It's things like McEwan's or John Smiths. Filth, in other words.

Yes, in addition to sh1t beer there is the presence of beardy weirdy sandal wearing muppets who drink only halves and comment on the 'nose' of the beer. Want shooting - all of them.

A pint of lager does tend to make them steer clear of you, however. Win win imo.
