Winter Warmers – Great winter ale festivals
Write-up by Isla Campell
Beer festivals are important cultural landmarks in several countries, and the occasions usually correspond to the time of year in which specific ales are produced. The beer festival calendar is not limited to events such as Germany’s Oktoberfest and London’s Fantastic British Beer Festival held in the summer although, and those seeking for something to warm them up and to get involved in a wonderful party atmosphere in the colder months can locate a number of winter ale festivals taking location across the UK and beyond.
The most nicely-identified of these in the UK is the National Winter Ales Festival, organised every winter by the Campaign for Actual Ale (CAMRA) – an organisation devoted to encouraging beer drinkers and brewers to maintain centuries-old brewing traditions alive. With the winter season becoming a time full of traditions – with Christmas and New Year featuring prominently – attending festivals such as this can really feel like stepping back in time and appreciating the critical role ale has played through the generations.
The National Winter Ales Festival normally takes location each January, showcasing a wide variety of ales that were not able to feature in summer festivals due to their seasonal brewing, such as stouts and porters. Very first held at Glasgow’s Old Fruit Marketplace in 1997, the festival now takes location in Manchester, but is by no indicates the only alternative for ale drinkers seeking to sample the finest regional brews this winter.
Whether or not you are searching to keep costs low with inexpensive train tickets about the UK or you are prepared to travel further afield – to events such as the Portland Holiday Ale Festival taking location in Oregon, USA or the Kersbierfestival in Essen, Belgium this December – winter ale festivals can be as excellent a reason to get pleasure from a day trip or weekend away as anything. The bigger events normally feature entertainments for all the loved ones, so children and those who are not so interested in ale will discover activities to allow them to soak up the atmosphere even if they are not sampling the brews themselves.
Some men and women are reportedly deterred from attending ale festivals due to the belief that a drunken atmosphere will prevail, but organisers are keen to curb such tendencies among visitors, helping to make sure that the beer festival can be enjoyed by all. By drinking responsibly, you’ll have the chance to sample some of the finest local beers in the firm of other ale lovers this winter.

I believe there will be too many of us to control, including family members of those carrying arms for those in power. Fear not. If I have to die to promote peace and focus my energies upon something that contributes to the elevation of mankind, so be it. I know that’s a real possibility.

@EnveBeats I agree completely, but in the situation of an actual government downfall or marshall law or the government targeting groups like this as the enemy and causing the downfall of the monetary system, we will most definately be forced to worry about their actions. I have no solution for this so don’t criticize. I’m just trying to spawn ideas out of others.

it’s so enlightening and insightful to listen to people like peter,i’m not necessarily depressed (right now) but such people just give hope to us who have a better perception of reality and are afraid of times to come due to such high levels of corruption.
if anyone is interested,look up mary croft’s book “how i clobbered…” which peter apparently used for his movies,also videos from robert menard and russel anothony porisky.
regarding what the black lady at the beginning says about 9/11-if the governments of the world were groups of people we could trust,it wouldn’t have even happened.
@firebreedpunk the problem is though that hardly anybody uses money these days. take me as an example. i go to work 3-4 days a week, get paid at the end of each month, into my bank account and then i use my bank card to pay for everything. i cant remember the last time i had actual money in my pocket.
saying all that, good fucking idea though. i had thousands of sticky white pieces of paper with zeitgeistmovement. Com printed on them. i stick them in random public places. peace!

@Wh3tst0nE Says who? Don’t even know what she was talking about do you?
4.10 anyone know who she’s talking about?
@EnveBeats This is absolutely true..But the fact is that any attempts to set up alternative communities within this system will be mercilessly crushed by the state.look at the rave scene it terrified them and that didn’t even have a fully conscious aim..Also, the communities must be drug free, not because drugs are bad as such, but 1. because of the law 2. a movement needs focused people..If you think about it, its quite amazing that there are basically no intentional communities in the city.
@EnveBeats
If you actually get everyone in your community organized and trained for this movement give me a call I’ll move to where you are because no one seems to be listening to me. Wait i bet your having the same problem right. Sorry but people do alot of talking and not enough doing.
@firebreedpunk Thats actually genius! I think I will try that
@EnveBeats Real good point my friend.
