Yup, the now annual IET fact finding mission to Tring Brewery was tonight. And, as always, I'm amazed I can type straight 
Another attendance beater, with over 20 eager individuals there to sample the brews, the fish n chips, and listen intently to Andy as he explained the process of brewing beer in a mircobrewery. It was then back to the bar to sample Side Pocket for a Toad, Fanny Ebbs, Ridgeway, and Becks Bender.
They've started doing glasses, pump badges, t-shirts, and all manner of memorabilia. The only bad news was that they're not going to be at the CAMRA Great British Beer Festival this year. So I'll have to keep an eye out at our local pubs if I want to sample any of the 30-odd ales they plan on brewing this year 
The trips have been going now for over 10 years (not sure if it's 11 or 12), and if this time's as good a measure as any, it's still as popular as ever. So, Dan, get on and sort out organising next years, it's in my diary already
