Here's a plug for the all Otley Beer Festival happening over the coming weekend at the Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd. The Commercial Room team will be attending on Friday, and it looks like there'll be plenty of quality beers to keep us occupied. We're particularly looking forward to 'Not So', 'Saison Obscura', 'O-Rosie' and one of our very favourities: 06 Porter.
Friday night sees some live 'New Orleans style' music. There's a BBQ during the day on Saturday, followed by some live rock 'n' blues. Whilst on Sunday the 'epic' roasts will be served during the day.
