I havent heard anything about a beer fest this year but then I havent been to the Franciscan in ages.

A mate just invited me to go, so I'd say yes.

(I won't be going. I'm sane.)

Its grand if you go early. That way you can get pissed before the crowd arrive

Yeah this weekend. I think it's pretty good during the day if the weather is nice and if you have a chance for day time pintage! At night it's a bit mental and not really fun unless you manage to secure a table!

Is it on the Saturday as well? I'm still hoping they'll bring back that sweet sweet apple nectar

Heisenberg.

Its so packed at night. For a beerfest there is a surprising lack of beer being drank ebcause of the huge queues involved in purchasing said beer.

Too true. I'd be more inclined to go to the Bierhaus for a mini-Beerfest over the weekend. Mmmmm...beer-y goodness

Its also good to get their early cos the better beers have a terrible habit of running out before sunday night

Anyone know the start time on Saturday? I know that for the actual October fests they used to start at 5pm on the Friday but since its opening on a Saturday I'm not sure what to expect. Wouldn't mind heading in on the Saturday afternoon if its on.
