Chambers in assocation with The Ship Inn present their Easter Ales festival this weekend! And I'm going to miss it, DOH! It's on from Thursday 24th - Monday 28th March, and the runners and riders are as follows... Your four regular ales are Adnams Southwold, Ramsgate Dark Ale, Hopdaemon Skrimshander and Ringwood Old Thumper. These beers are generally to be found at the bar in Chambers anyway. There are 12 guests lined up, these may change but right now they're Church End Bats in the Belfry, Titanic Iceberg, Black Sheep Best, Hanby Cherrybomb, Trip FFF Comfortably Numb, Widdey Valley Golden Rivet, Wye Valley Owd Sarah, Ramsgate Dogbolter, Spring Head Roaring Meg, Downton Brewing Co Chimera Gold, Hook Norton Double Stout, and On The Good Ship Chambers Festival Ale brewed especially for the festival by Hopdaemon! The four guest ciders are all rippingly strong; Biddendens Dry, Inch's West Country Dry, Thatchers Cheddar Valley, and Winkleigh Scrumpy Med Dry...
Enjoy!
This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
