"Beers of the world, unite!"
The UNOB slogan
Any January 2008 Beer Festivals guide should reflect on happier times ahead. Cool beers with good friends on sun-drenched terraces.
Some bright spark coined the phrase Winter Beer Festival and now they are springing up everywhere. It's unfair to wait until summer before getting tanked in public: the UNOB agrees one hundred per cent!
Fortunately,
a global
guide
allows us to add Beer Festivals from hotter climes. So pack your
toothbrush and extra-large trousers and jet off to a hotspot to down a
cold one!
As we discover more and more festivals, or receive updated information, we'll amend our January 2008 Beer Festivals calendar.
