Oliver Bills-Strange is drinking a Paradise Pilsner by Volstead Brewing Company at Ilam Gardens
Bloody great pilsner. Hoppy. Crisp. Honestly wanted a Pilsner all day and this more than sufficed. It’s a shame so few were put on!

Oliver Bills-Strange is drinking a Nectaronicon - Nectaron Hazy IPA by Thief Brewing at Ilam Gardens
Here by way of a cheeky jug pour behind the bar. Dregs. Probably at least a little bit NOT Nectaronicon, but we double-checked Matt’s ACTUAL Nectaronicon and they taste the same. I’ll take it. It’s a fantastic brew (even if Nectaron hops are cheating).

Oliver Bills-Strange is drinking a Halfwit by Gambit Brewing Co at Ilam Gardens
Very nice to meet the brewer here today. I really rate this – yep it’s not a trad hazy, and Matt and Scott have been very keen to point that out. But I actually love a Belgian spiced hoppy beer and this very definitely hits that brief. Very impressed.

Oliver Bills-Strange is drinking a Festival Fog by Wilderness Brewing at Ilam Gardens
Genuinely good. I liked it more than the Aliment before it. Definitely a bit softer and a bit less herbaceous. This is a fantastic selection of beer today.

Seriously good stout. The chocolate vibes were very prominent, very satisfying. Great mouthfeel and a great end to the best SIBF yet. Not a bad beer all day. Now even an average beer all day!
