Thirsty Thanet

Planet Thanet 2006 was a success. Unfortunately it was too much of a success. The two day event concluded at 8pm on the first day due to both days beer being consumed by thirsty ale-drinking Thanetites. Our team got down to the venue at around 6pm and there were only a few barrels still flowing. However we managed to still sample some fine drinks. Ales of note were Cairngorm's Trade Winds, Crouch Vale's Brewers Gold, RCH's Steam Showers, Rebellion's IPA & Gadds' Strong No. 3. The venue was fairly small and their were admission queues throughout the day but the setting overlooking Westcliff Bay was pretty and condusive to a good tipple. The weather was kind to the event and as soon as the beer ran out a sea fog rolled inland seemingly from nowhere and told everyone it was time to leave. Looking forward to Planet Thanet 2007 but please make sure there is enough juice!
