With thanks to Mark Yarrow, the leadership team and the bar team, two real ales are going up for the Wingate / Cheshunt home double-header.
These will be:
Two by Two Superdelic Citra New England Pale (4.6%) - an oatmeal / wheat pale for a thick mouthfeel with a hefty dose of Superdelic and Citra hops for mango, lime zest, red berry, grapefruit and lychee notes.
Kent Brewery's Kent Golding Bitter (4.1%) - East Kent Goldings and Fuggles sit atop a base of varying malts, with the result of a lovely mid-toffee coloured Bitter, earthiness and a touch of spice. Proper Kentish beer.
These will be on sale in the marquee, and are subject to availability, so pop in at gates opening and enjoy what will be exceptionally fresh beer - the best in town!
Thanks to The Kentish Belle and Loyalty & Remembrance Lodge 5842 for sponsoring the casks.
Thanks to everyone who participated yesterday. As if it should be a surprise, the Two by Two Pale was gone as the marquee was prepared for the private hire, and the said private hire was allowed to keep going at the bitter should they wish, so we'll see what's left when we turn up on Tuesday.
A big note of thanks again to the club for letting us experiment (I think it went well so fingers crossed we get to do it again), and also to the sponsors of the casks who allowed us to 'tip the balance' of risk in such a way that it made it a financial success.
Mark Yarrow and I had a discussion, and I think he's got a lot to be thanked for as well as he's been tenacious on this. The general belief is that a good blend of local (e.g. Bexley, Kent, Tonbridge) and further afield (Two by Two is Newcastle) beers gives us all some intrigue and some enjoyment, and keeps things fresh. I will update on a game-by-game basis as we move along with what's coming, and depending on how busy we think we will be it might lead to two beers or one.
The three old settees that were thrown out of the local boudoir also added to the all round match day ambiance. Or were they there as a prop for the later private hire function? Maybe there was a 70s porn shoot being cast.

I actually quite like them! One thing that I would say, however, is there does seem to be a lack of circulation space around the bar once drinks have been bought when the tables are full - not sure how to deal with that, mind.
Saturday 26th September, FA Trophy vs Chertsey, a cask of Kent Brewery Amplifire (a hazy pale of NZ and US hop types) has been procured. General suggestion on Untappd so far (only 28 check-ins) is that it's a rather good one.
