Not sure what others thought of the International Beer Festival in Adelaide on the weekend, but I reckon it was a crock of ****! :angry: Their website said over 100 premium beers from Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Greece, Mexico, Japan, Germany, England, USA, India, Czechoslovakia, Pakistan and Venezuela.
Bollocks there was! :angry:
I counted them, and there were only 40 beers and I had tried them all before except two. And it's hardly an International festival when 21 of the beers are from Australia and 8 from South Australia.
I was expecting the opportunity to try a variety of beers I had never drunk before, and it was a reasonable expectation when they say there will be over 100 beers. But what was actually on offer was a joke.
I usually go to bottle shops with a bigger selection than was on offer, with a much wider international range, and I don't have to pay ^#%*&@! $15 to just walk into a bottle-o.
I got so pissed-off with the stitch up that after 20mins I walked out and asked for a refund, which they reluctantly gave me.
I note they said it would be a yearly event. I'm never going back.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
