Sweeeeeet!
The next major 'event' at The Rake will be the Lambic Festival which starts on Sunday 1st November. This one is Toms baby and he's going all the way to belgium to get the beers next weekend.
Expect the unexpected with regard to some of these. Some of them will probably have never been seen in the UK before and perhaps never will again.
As far as we know this is the first time a beer festival in the UK has been exclusively dedicated to Lambic beers and we're really excited about this one.

Milk Beer - Dr Moo, Lactiwel, Chinese Awes and Bilk
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
The ‘Art of Skittlebrau’, beer judged not only on taste, but also on appearance post-skittle induction. Able to be produced in a wide variety of flavours and colours, Skittlebrau is confectionary brewing at it’s finest(?) indeed, the drinker can “taste the rainbow”… Continue

companies, they ask things like do you smoke or drink beer. Isn't this an invasion of privacy? How do they know I'm not lying anyway? I don't tell them I had Bariatric surgery before either since that was elective and not directly a health issue. Thoughts?

I brewed a beer, had a lot of help but still did it!
Hey Theresa, I'm not sure Garrett would ever find the time in his schedule : ) But hell, I'll give it a go!
Cheers for the suggestion.
