OKTOBERFEST COMES TO BRIGG


Brigg Hockey Club players - male and female - were out in force at the weekend for their annual Oktoberfest celebrations.
Many had donned lederhosen outfits for their take on the world-famous German tribute to fine beers.
They raised a glass or two  in the Nelthorpe Arms Barn and later in the Woolpack.
We also saw others heading off towards the Dying Gladiator.
Some could well have been to other pubs.
Pictured is club secretary Phil Dewfall in the Woolpack, where he and his colleagues joined regulars to enjoy the music.

The Munich Oktoberfests lasts 16 days.....Brigg beer festivals can last months!
I just can't understand German 1 litre beer glasses....they're served two-thirds full of beer and one-third of froth...
In the South of England, they have never experienced froth...I lived in Surrey for a while, and the pubs removed the sparklers (those devices that give some life to a pint) from the beer points and the beer tastes flat.
.....although when I go to Greenwich (London) the beer is lively, but costs a bank loan for a pint.
