title A Day at the Grain Brewery Open Day, Alburgh, Suffolk - 20th May 2017 intro Nosher gets a welcome, if rare, Saturday off to go out cycling on the lash with The Boy Phil, Marc, Suey and DH to the Grain Brewery open-day/mini beer festival at Alburgh, near Bungay. The brewery day is followed by a stop off at the Wortwell Bell beer festival and then a hard slog with the hiccups back to Braisworth near Eye for a party - around 34 miles all in. Before that, it's off to the Microsoft Research building in Cambridge for a day of "hot desking". imgc5988 There's an old-timey shunter at Cambridge station imgc5991 Derelict railway building at Cambridge imgc5992 The view from the MSR "hot desk" office imgc5994 the MSR building on Station Road/Tennyson Road imgc5996 Outside Marc and Sue's imgc5999 Marc gets his trailer ready for beer imgc6000 DH and Marc pause on the tandem in Hoxne imgc6001 DH stops for a wee, as Marc and Suey wait imgc6002 We prepare to cross the A143 imgc6003 Sarah on the footpath at Wortwell imgc6006 The tandem is wheeled down to the road imgc6008 Marc and DH wrangle the tandem and trailer imgc6012 In the bar at Grain Brewery imgc6014 DH inspects a coffee bean or something imgc6017 There's music going on outside imgc6020 Some hops are sniffed imgc6021 More tanks are explained imgc6022 The process of Lagering is explained imgc6023 The Boy Phil roams around with a pint imgc6024 Marc gurns in front of some maturation tanks imgc6025 Marc leaves to get more beer imgc6027 There's an old wrecked piano near the toilets imgc6028 Marc plays a tune imgc6031 DH looks especially grumpy in a group photo imgc6033 Suey takes a phone photo imgc6035 The Boy Phil queues up for a sausage imgc6037 Nosher's beer, plus coffee beans imgc6040 Marc's loaded with sausages imgc6044 Children play in the rain imgc6046 A dog looks a bit folorn imgc6047 Suey looks at beer imgc6052 Marc does some selfies imgc6053 Marc does a selfie with the dog imgc6054 The Grain Brewery day is officially over imgc6055 We consider the bike pile imgc6056 Phil extricates his bike imgc6057 Marc's got an extra 15kg of beer in tow imgc6062 Phil inspects a motorbike at the Wortwell Bell imgc6063 Outside the Wortwell Bell imgc6064 DH roams around imgc6065 Saddling up once again
