    Yup, its not the best selection but if the atmosphere is as good as last year it'll be great. I'm going friday and there are less than 10 beers I want to try. However, most are over 10% so I'll probably be wellied off 3/4 and get 3 hours memory loss.

    What sort of measures/pricing system did they use last time around?

    had hoped to make it on Saturday but family commitments intrude, and as I'm off to Nottingham on Thursday/Friday it was probably stretching it a bit to go to Indyman as well

    It was tokens, 23 for £20 I bought 46 for me and girlfriend we used 39.
    All beers were sold in 1/3's no alternative and cost 1.50-3 tokens depending on strength.

    I didn't sample any cask I will this time as I was riding a keg wave at the time. I suspect they were probably cheaper.

    Tasting events were 2 tokens so well worth it. I suspect they'll be dearer this year.

    Prices are basically the same as PSBH but cheaper than Brewdog CBC (aside from Brewdog beers at Indy man which were dear and by Brewdog standards uninspiring)

    Food was cash only around £5 options were not good if you're Veggie (i am)

    Yes enjoyed the Italian tasting although there were a few twats hogging the bottles when they were sent around for refills.

    Thought Jeff Rosenmeier's talk about sours was very entertaining.

    Overall I had a really great time. Years ahead of any of the London festivals.
