It would be true to say that May has been a trifle damp this year – in fact some of our staff are currently receiving treatment for webbed feet. However, the sunshine finally arrived to bless the last weekend of our Mayfest celebrations and the Glen looked simply stunning. It was great to see our customers taking full advantage of the glorious weather and dining ‘al fresco’ (No, not the Italian renaissance painter).....Even the midges stayed away 'til after dinner.
Once the sun went down on Friday night Jock the Box - he's played with the Stranglers you know - wowed the masses in the boots bar with his mesmerising repertoire and the fun continued with The Ghosties, who played to a packed hot-house on Saturday night. We’ve never seen so many ‘redheads’ in the bar…and that was just the blokes…..Remember the sun cream next time lads.
Fort William groove masters ‘Anyone for gravy?’ rounded off the festival with a superb set on Sunday night and it would take Amanda, Piers & Simon to decide which act was the best……
.....and talking of the best, we can now proudly announce the winner of this years ‘Ale of the festival’. It was a tough call with over 35 traditional Scottish ales on show but the public have voted and in true ‘Britains got talent’ style…...drum roll and a long pause to build the tension please.…the winner is…..Williams Bros Brewing company with their world famous heather ale 'Fraoch'
If you missed all the fun you have another chance to sample the atmosphere of our legendary beer festival during OctoberFest. Book early to avoid disappointment, as they say.
