Real Ales, with their unique character offer a most splendid and relaxing drinking experience. The tastes can vary sharply. Although some can be quite frankly awful, the Dragon's Breath, a taste in point from a personal point of view; the various real ales on offer at any Oktoberfest from all corners of the land is a pleasant contrast to your John Smiths or your Tetley's Bitter which normally appear on a visit to the local.
As someone who has frequented Warrington Oktoberfest for many years, I have found Warrington Rotary Club and it's dedicated volunteers on the whole to do a fine job. But they do need to question their choice of venue. Peak times such as Friday and Saturday evenings generally see Warrington's Parr Hall packed out with limited seating availability and little room to move around freely. At times I have found such an environment to be fairly stuffy if I am being honest.
Oktoberfest 2013 is now only a little over a couple of weeks away. No doubt along with other local real ale enthusiasts, I am looking forward to this year's festival as much as the previous ones in which I have attended. But I do highlight the point going forward that the Warrington Rotary Club do need to look at alternative venues, such as the Halliwell Jones Rugby Stadium perhaps.
Ultimately, the beneficiary of an improved venue is not solely the real ale enthusiast or even the real ale brewing industry, but the local charities which could benefit from potentially improved profits which the Oktoberfest Beer Festival could generate. My message to Warrington Rotary Club is DO TAKE NOTE PLEASE!
