Kranswurm Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah, I eventually found it, but accommodation as others are saying is an issue, even the hotel is full now. You can get accommodation quite far out of Clarens, but that doesn't suit me, I wanna be right there, I wish I knew about it earlier, but I may jump on my cruiser and ride out for the day still, I'll see. I agree walk or ride your bike everywhere.Plus with all that delicious beer you will be pickled
Seeker911 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 eish would love too but quite a drive ...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I agree walk or ride your bike everywhere.Plus with all that delicious beer you will be pickled Yeah, ideally you want to be in walking distance of everything, I will try again to see if there are cancellations at the hotel, but I doubt it, seems its very popular but I have never heard of it, pity I would have enjoyed it I think.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Over the weekend, I tried at least a dozen other places of accommodation................I can pretty safely say Clarens is full for that weekend. The closest available accommodation was 32 km's away. Not worth it for me. Pity, I would really liked to have gone.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 So who went to the beer festival in Clarens over the weekend, would be interested to hear what it was like.
Tieffels Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Was pretty cool I thought. Good crowd, good vibe bit not overcrowded, perfect weather, awesome beer. Did not give the live bands much attention, but every now and again picked up some awesome covers being done. In fact really awesome beer. Would highly recommend it for next year.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Good, I would like to have gone, but I only heard about it too late. Will try and remember earlier next year.
DubbelBuys Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I was there as well. It was lekker! Awesome beer for sure! We might have had a bit too much, but who cares? Felt it on my ride sunday morning... Have you guys seen the band Rooibaard? Quite good performance as always. Hope to see & meet some hubbers next year!
santosh Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 it was awesome!really glad we're getting more and more local beers. had a great ride into the golden park on saturday morning.was in no shape to ride on sunday, my 'scientific' beer drinking needs some tweaking.
