After a three year enforced absence due to Covid-19, G-RAF has returned to The Briggait.
Once again Jonathan was the driving force behind the festival. Hector admits to turning up expecting all to be in place, and most importantly, the taps at the KeyKeg/Foreign Bar functioning smoothly. Colin was once again overseeing this operation, assisted by Dr. Stan, it’s complicated.

Hector was present on each of the three days, the official photographer captured a not too uncommon moment at the Foreign Bar (left).
However, such was the adulation, when Hector, Howard, and Dr. Stan were working in unison, one punter posted his verdict: Dream Team.
Additionally, there was the chap who wanted to discuss Piwo from Polska, hopefully in recognition of the extensive coverage of Polish Bier in these pages. Inevitably, many wanted to discuss matters Curry related. Time will never permit the same level of coverage in Bier-Traveller.com as in Curry-Heute.com.

The Bier
At G-RAF 2019, Overtone (Yoker, Glasgow) were in their infancy. Black Market Fruit, a Sour at 5.2%, was featured, my first encounter of Overtone. Throughout Lockdown they attained great notoriety with a seemingly never ending series of IPAs: NEIPA, DIPA, DDH IPA, TIPA etc. It was good to see their Bier pouring steadily this week.
