Bedford Beerfest 2009
On the 7th of October I took myself off to the Corn exchange to the 32nd Bedford beerfestival. Below are a few pics of the bar and a list of beers that were available.
The beers were all excellent average price was £2.70 a pint.
I don't remember much, so it must have been good.
