Anyone got tickets to the Craft Beer thing at Biscuit Factory this week?  Guaranteed to be a shambles, they sold out the Saturday with the promise of unlimited tasters, then slyly added into the T&Cs afterwards that you are limited to 6 pints.  Biscuit Factory needs to be careful with this shit after the mess of the Chocolate Festival a few months back.

[Walter Sobchak]

How much was a ticket?

[Chrambo]

£38 

[Big Physical Acey]

I for one am shocked at the prospect of a Craft Beer event being a complete rip off.

[Walter Sobchak]

That's a total joke. £38 for 6 pints. No doubt there will be utter chaos when people have 6 pints then realise they're not getting any more.

How do they police that ... wee booklet with 36 wee tickets, each giving you a 6th of a pint taster opp?
More than 9 quid a pint

[Shteve]

More like shaft beer.

Mags not happy at having to buy british produce?

That's why we had an Empire

Just here to call bullshit on this.

Been here for a few hours and I've been told specifically by those working that there is no limit. There are no tokens or vouchers and no way anyone can tell how much beer you've had.

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Neutral rep. Pozzy for proving somebody on the Internet wrong, neggy for going to a craft beer fayre

[Johnny]

Chrambo the slaver strikes again

[Chrambo]

Aye they shat it after the backlash on social media, my mates are there and said it's basically just a few bars for £38 so pretty shite.  You get what you deserve when you pay that for a craft beer festival I suppose

[Sarkozabal]

£38 for unlimited beer sounds like a dece afternoon to me

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

I got roped into one of these a few months ago (I wasn't keen but FOMO took over), and it was a pure rip off - something like 15 quid to get in, which got you 3 tokens. I thought that was actually decent value, until I took them up to the counter and the boy told me a half pint of some home brewed shite was 4 tokens Fucking extortionate, never again

[Chrambo]

Aye he also said the majority of beers are shite, 7% but taste like piss.  Kind of people that go to this shit will never admit that though and just pretend to be into it

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Aye, boys sniffing at some treacly ale like it's a fine wine Almost everything I drank at that one was awful. Didn't even take a note of any brewers' names.

[pondlife]

I've just turned on the telly as Indie give the big bad baldie bad-guy a bloody nose, and then the cool Nazi super-plane gives him a bloody good decapitation.
Great film.

Anyone else watching The World's End?
