13th
Internationales Berliner Bierfestival
13th
Berlin International Beer Festival
An
opportunity to visit this famous beer festival and explore the city. The
beer festival organisers are planning to have some 2,000 beers from 300
breweries in 86 countries. Although they certainly won’t all be “real
ales” in the accepted sense, there will   be
some interesting products and a wide range of tastes. Last year the
festival celebrated Czech beer culture by highlighting that country’s
products in the city centre’s “Beer Mile” - “the longest beer garden in
the world”. This year it is Belgium’s turn to be centre stage, with 12 of
its breweries represented and providing the diversity of beer styles for
which Belgium is famous, including krieks, abbey beers, etc. 18 stages
will host live music and regional food specialities will be served. Our
long weekend allows time to sample many of the beers and take in the
other sights of the city, at a time of year when the weather should be
good. Bookings are not yet open, so check back frequently for further
information.

ISLE
OF WIGHT
JUST A FEW PLACES LEFT ON THIS TOUR
   
This coming May Day Bank Holiday
weekend, we travel to the Isle of Wight to celebrate with not just ale
but in truly elemental fashion with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and its Real Ale Festival. Staying on the island until Bank
Holiday Monday, we will fit in some sightseeing (including ‘up-close and
personal’ with The Needles), a tour of Yates’ & Stumpy breweries’ shared premises and some
great pubs. This long weekend ‘Explorer’ tour includes train and ship from London to Ryde,
brewery visit, IOW Steam Railway visit and Alum Bay excursion. A free day
on Sunday, returning on Monday via the Yarmouth to Lymington crossing and
a ‘heritage’ E.M.U. on the Lymington to Brockenhust branch line.

THE
NORFOLK RAMBLER
Our tour to Cornwall
and the Isles of Scilly is full, but the Berney Arms, England’s most
remote pub, with its own small halt on a railway backwater, beckons us in
the spring. We expect to travel by boat from Great Yarmouth in one
direction and train in the other. We are planning to offer the option of
spending Friday evening in Norwich prior to this visit. To whet your
appetite, here are a few pictures from our previous visit in 2007:

PADDLE STEAMER RYDE
Many of you are interested in coastal shipping as
well as trains and beer. So, you may be interested to know that a
last-ditch attempt is being made to save the paddle steamer “Ryde”, which
used to ply the waters between Pompey and the Isle of Wight. She is
pictured on the left in her latter days of service and, below right, in
her present sorry state. Read more....
