Re: Best pint of Guinness in the District?
Alex is one of the founders of Glastonwick – a celebration of beer, music and poetry held every year in Coombes, West Sussex during June. I went to it when it used to be held at Shoreham Airport and it was a wonderful day out.
I had a beer with him a while ago at the Rattle N Hum in NYC which I believe is still one of his favourite haunts. Hope that Wandering Star is a success – he deserves it.

Wandering Star should be in full swing in NYC in about 2-3 months, we need to brew a lot very soon to satisfy initial demand. We are already signed with a distributor, just need to get them enough casks and kegs. Probably just after I get back from Glastonwick we'll do a big launch. In the meantime the first two beers are on as a 'soft launch' at dba Brooklyn as a taste of things to come. Rattle 'n' Hum will get it soon.
Cheers!

Re: Best pint of Guinness in the District?
Thanks! Glastonwick is 3-5 June this year if anyone wants 72 casks of real ale (plus tubs of cider and perry) paired through the weekend with 20 bands/musicians/radical poets in a barn in the wilds of the Sussex countryside. It's my annual pilgrimage back to my roots from NYC to arrange the beer, as I co-founded it back in '96. This location is much better than the airport spot that we did for a few years, it's actually a working farm.
