Cask Days - Oct 24-26, 2014

Post by Craig »

Tickets go on sale on Monday at 12. That's also when we find out the details about the festival, including who the international feature is this year.

Minor quibble, but I wish they'd give us a little more info up front. Like session times and such.

Thanks for the heads up. Website doesn't appear to have any ticket details. Is that were they are usually available or should I be looking somewhere else?

Yeah, It's a little confusing this year. From what I understand tickets are only on sale on the website and they will go on sale on Monday at noon, which is also when all the festival info will be released.

At the moment I don't even know how many sessions there are. They used to do three iirc, two on Saturday and one on Sunday, but this year it's a Friday-Sunday fest, so I don't know how that's going to play out exactly. I'm sure if you reached out to them on Twitter or through their website you'd get better info.

I generally like details before the event posting so plans can be made ahead of time for when tickets go on sale. Especially for an event like this where tickets go fast.

I do hope there's some additional oomph (technical term) behind the websites for Monday at noon so it's an easy buy.

So myself and Kish84 were in London at Milos' last weekend. We were discussing cask days and wondering what the feature would be this year. The girl behind the bar overheard us and said it is going to be California breweries. Probably best to take that with a grain of salt, but that would be pretty awesome if true.

Damn, that would be sweet. Probably going for Friday night at this point as Saturday is out for me

I'm in for Session Two, since I love afternoon drinking and I don't love cold October nights or midnight shuttle busses out of Brickworks... though I'm still considering getting Friday too... :P

I really like the "last call" Sunday idea for $5 with your glass. I'm sure there will still be some nice stuff to drink, so I'm totally heading to that.
