Thanks to all at Tweedies Bar and everyone who braved wet and windy weather to come along and watch us at the Grasmere Guzzler Festival. We had a lovely time and enjoyed sampling some fine ales including the big 11 percenter that tipped the balance for a few of us.  A certain little drummer boy will be sorting out his bar tab in due course!
