Nice one! If there's any info in the CBA website then they're hiding it away well!

Skipton is hardly easy access for Southerners but i guess Midlands venue is not feasible any more.

Looks like Skipton for the North and Sutton of the South!

We don't know much more than that (apart from what was in the last Brewer's contact). The Northern Craft Brewer guys are going to send me stuff to put on the CBA website.

I've booked my B&B already.

You live in Hemel...up the M1 until it runs out, turn left.

Awesome.I thought the Skipton beer fest last year was awesome. Now the national on my door step. 2010 will be a good year!

I'd come, we're only just down the road, but looking at the latest brewers contact photos it seems there is only 2 or 3 of my age range (nearly 36!)... unless I'm wrong??

The Big question being, will Copper Dragon still be trading, I was hearing the 'Receivership' tale at work yesterday.

I was at the event in June (travelled down from Fife) and there was a mix of ages there. Admittedly there were none that I can think of in their 20's but certainly a some 30's and plenty of 40's (I have just turned 40). However I wouldn't let that put you off, I have learnt an awful lot about brewing from old guys with big bushy beards.

Skipton is a fantastic market town. Very picturesque with a canal running through the middle and a midieval castle at the top if you can tear yourself away from the beer. Plenty of good pubs and eateries so certainly worth a visit. I'll certainly be back in September.

Hurrah, room booked at The Woolly Inn! 18th is my Birthday too!

[steve_flack]

I'm booked at the Guest Otel - which isn't so convenient for the brewery but better for the Friday night warm up session.

I'm 40 this year BTW and don't have a beard.

Is that the 'Woolyback' Inn?

[leedsbrew]
