WHITE HART BEER FESTIVAL

Tongham, GU10 1DH

Saturday 10 September 2016

On arrival PV found Keith Chivers, with his guitar and drum box, playing
some classic rock on the garden stage. However, as it was raining PV headed
inside. With the inclement weather the families usually enjoying the garden
were also inside, so the pub was full with their bloody kids. Fortunately
none of them were in the public bar and it was here PV found ROC settled.
The rest of Mengo followed, albeit at different times.

There were no printed menus so, after making a quick first selection, PV
spent the first 15 minutes copying the list from the blackboard. While
compiling the list it became apparent the emphasise was on Yorkshire beers.
There was a distinct lack of black beers this year but that is not to say
those tried were not enjoyable in their own blond way. There was nothing
outstanding enough to deserve special comment but at least the Partners
beer was brewed with three American hops.

With the GG calling, it was not a long session and soon Mengo were heading
off either to the pub or, in PV’s case, home.
