I do indeed use Untappd Vix! I'm not always a great fan of IPAs, although quite like the lower ABV juicy new world ones - they can keep the British style traditional options though - they make me pull faces! Not unheard of for the pub we're using this evening to have a decent New World offering though so I'll have a look!
Yes, it was the short notice thing that was the killer - especially as they apparently knew about this in November and just didn't say anything! Thank goodness the co-host chap decided to speak up when he saw the message - otherwise we would have got down there only to find we had nowhere to stay.

I'm with you entirely on IPAs - a juicy, modern one is one thing, traditional definitely not so much. But it's OK, we have 'three sips rule' for checking in on Untapped (brought in mainly for beer festivals - and by 'we', I mean Mr MV, BIL and SIL 😂 - so I'll get my badge as Mr MV will happily have one. Our plans for this evening haven't been decided yet, beyond the fact that a beer will be involved!

Gosh that's extremely annoying, especially at short notice! And meaning you now have to stay in different places - grrr.

There's a "taster" option on there now I think Vix…I have some pals who are utter purists though and insist on it needing to be a third as a minimum to be acceptable - stuff that! 😂
Yes Cheery - half the reason for staying together was to avoid anyone having to do late night wanders through a town which inevitably at airshow time is often full of drunk people (not us!)on their own - bang goes that plan!

I forget about the taster option - will try to remember to use that for trying other people’s beers. You definitely don’t need a third to know if you like something or not! (Might have sent you a friend request - don’t feel obliged though!)

Ugh on the accommodation, the short notice AND the fact that this has been an issue since November and they’ve only just told you … 🙄 Sheesh …
Could you use some of the refund to buy a lightweight sack truck or similar for moving your camera equipment around?

That is so out of order, thank goodness the co-host at least had a bit of common decency
Enjoy the beers 🍻

That’s a very poor show EH! Well done on getting new accommodation sorted even though it’s not as good as the other one.
