| | Lets have the Lottery winners on at the next bash. They are "our" local band who won best unsigned band UK last month. Come on organisers get arse in gear | | | You wanna get these men on at the next fest. Saw em at the bowling green last week and they rock.

| | To Paul Hodson: Your festival in a word "Awesome". My son Dan and I never enjoyed ourselves more than we did on January 28th, the first night of your Bent and Bong Festival. We truly appreciated the English hospitailty extended to us, the two guys from the States. You had some amazing English Ales, hooray for CAMRA. The Beligum Ales you also had can get you in trouble if not properly monitored (smaller quanities), the ABV will "knock your socks off". Cheers for a job....well done.

| | I fully understand peoples views on a bigger venue , but i think it would lose its atmosphere big time . Years ago the Formby Hall burnt down . So that year the LB&BBB ( as it was then known ) was held at the British Legion in Leigh , it was no where near as good . So maybe more volunteers and a longer festival could work .... Get y names down | | Sarahh :)) 06 February 2010 | |
| | Had An Awesome Time Went Friday Night And Saturday Afternooon,, Only Thing Is I Think A Bigger Venue Is Needed. Anyone Know When This Years Pics Are Coming On ?? :) | | andrew french 05 February 2010 | |
| | had a great time, looking forward to next year. suggest bigger venue. | | | There were police outside when i left on saturday night and a few smashed pots on the floor. there was no blood anywhere so cannot say if this was true or not. looked like someone had accidently dropeed their glass on the way out. there were a few young yobs in there asking for the strongest beer available. a bit later they were falling all over the place. this needs to be curbed if you ask me as it spoils the night for everyone else. Apart from that we had a brill time. | | Liver 04 February 2010 | Email address hidden |
| | I went as usual to my umpteenth Festival and had any cracking night , i was there from 7 till approx 10pm Sat night . the following i heard that there had been some trouble and that someone had been glassed .

| | Had a BRILLIANT day! My first and definitely not my last visit! Worth the queue in the cold! Thank you. xx | | A disgruntled visitor 01 February 2010 | |
| | After looking forward to the beer bash for a year , and having guests up to visit from as far as Nottingham and Warwickshire to attend, we were very upset at being locked out of the venue due to a "one in one out" policy o Saturday lunch time, when in previous years we haven't had to so much as queue... we never did get in.. Its a shame that the do-gooders and nanny state have lowered the numbers of attendees allowed in have stopped us enjoying the great range of beers and atmosphere. Also I am sure it will have dented the amount of money made for charity this year. | | Paul Hodnett 01 February 2010 | |
| | Had a great time Saturday night. What an excellent bash. Will be back for more next year.

| | We all had a superb time for the 3rd year running, thought it would be hard to beat last years do, but it was. Plenty of beer downed and the food was absolutely top quality.

| | A few tips for Friday:- Suction is of paramount importance, keep mouth aligned with the edge of glass. Place a bog roll in the freezer (nice for sat morning). Tips for Sat:- Watch for cracked flags on the day, raise glass during "those where the days!" to avoid unnessesary spillage. Black pud great for thickening the underpant residue | | Roman Officer 27 January 2010 | |
| | Really looking forward to Thursday night - but 'Wot' no Theakston (Masham, North Yorkshire) Old Peculier?? My favorite :-( | | | "Forget the Landlord"! Mrs Otto, that's blasphemy.

| | Meldrew, from your handwriting you seem like a master supper. I am easily recognised on the night as I will be standing in the hall, with a pint pot in my hand. I will not be wearing my anorak but I will be gving loads of good advice about 10.00pm | | | Thanks for the response Ask Elvis.

Over 20 years (assuming ave £5 entrance) er anyways we must have supped some stuff to raise 272K for charity. My head feels like I did most of it myself, are you all pulling your supping weight? | | | I would like to thank everyone who came and supported Atherton & Tyldesley Round Table, Ladies Circle and CAMRA in another successful fund raising event.

| | Just seen that only 80 days and less than 2000 hours to go i better start thinking about doing some serious training for the bent and bongs think it might start with a trip to the ship and mitre in liverpool on the 30th of nov for that festival | | | Oooaahhhhhuhuhuhuhuummmmm. I think we went past 6 on the suction scale. Head still fuzzy. Will 12 months be enough time to detox before the next one?
| | | I had too much to drink on saturday afternoon, I felt like I was flying through the air most of the time. Felt like I had lost my stuffing today but I am sure I will be OK. Next year I am bringing 100 of my mates and then we will see who is throwing who! | | | Just wanted to thank all at Bent and Bongs for an absolutly brilliant Saturday afternoon! Great beer and great people! Only one question, did the bunny make it out alive!! | | THE Glasscollector 26 January 2007 | Email address hidden |
| | Interesting point you make Nemisis. However the licence at the Formby hall allows only a 5.8 suction rate (there is a speed camera in place but there was no CAMRA in it last year!). The 2007 glass was supposed to clearly state safe suction levels. See you there Nemesis, stand back its my Landlord and I am very thirsty. TIP:- Put a toilet roll in the fridge for tomorrow. | | | Tonight's experiment will be to suck on a packet of dehydrating crystals in between each pint of Landlord and Nemesis. It's a risky game but we accept these risks. One suck too many and we could dehydrate so quickly that we turn ourselves inside out. One suck too few and we could unbalance the critical Landlord intake velocity. One suck at the point the Glasscollector achieves full suction capacity and we might even implode the windows. | | Fudge Brain 26 January 2007 | Email address hidden |

| | Who's taking liberties? mixed with fermented products its not recomended. I have also heard that people in Atherton are taking E by gum? | | | THe entry price is in line with most other beer festivals throughout the country and the bent and bongs is one of the very few where the profit goes to charity and not camra | | | I've been going to the BBBB since it started and I'm now thinking the entry price for Friday is getting a bit steep.I'm a CAMRA member and get in a bit cheaper but friends have been complaining that,for the past few years,the organisers have been taking liberties. | | Glasscollector 22 January 2007 | Email address hidden |
| | Er this 1991 glass, was it clear with BBBB stamped on it? Er round table name er..is this a trap to finally nail the glasscollector Claris?
Atherton's only serial glasscollector has just the one weakness and you have found it..the 1991 glass...can I risk exposing myself? nineteen nine tee one..my collection would look complete... | | Doctor Porter 22 January 2007 | |
| | Well.... another year and another calling - this year I shall be on hand Friday for evening surgery to assist all those exceeding 5.8 pints per hour. Preferred payment will (as usual) be in beer tokens, or full pints of Landlord. P.S. The last I heard was that the Quaker in question was eating his daily porridge from his 1991 BBBB glass. | | Glasscollector 22 January 2007 | Email address hidden |
| | I have found a lovely space in my colection for the 2007 glass, its been a long time since last year (about 12 months). My training for this years festival has involved high altitude suction training up rivington pike and I am able to quoff any fermented product now at close to 6 pints an hour. For health and safety reasons I will be restricted on Friday to 5.8. see you there. | | Billy Beertester 19 January 2007 | Email address hidden |
| | My mate Tommy is going to get in on Friday at 5.pm and save me a place near the Hydes beer. He will save you a place too if you give him a ring. He says it will be alright as he can swing it but no sippers only suppers, and definitly no women | | Ale Kan 19 January 2007 | Email address hidden |
| | Hey Glasscollector, be carefull this year. The forensics done on last years undergarment stains have produced a DNA strand that closely matches a Glasscollector who attened the 1991 festival. We are trying grow a glasscollector "clone" by combining this with frog spawn.

As a Newbrookroadian (or strictly speaking a Woodlandsdriveite), I shall return in January for a good few gallons of taste sensations, starting with Landlord and Old Tom, then whatever else is infront of me; Exmoor gold would be nice. Glasses shall be raised to my Granny - Queen of Atherton who passed away recently. This time I'll try not to get 3 points on my license on the way up! P.S. I'll check my dad's collection for a 1991 glass - was that the year there was an extreme shortage and fisty cuffs broke out? See you at the pumps... | | | Thanks for another fantastic Beer Bash!

Never mind change of strategy for next year and at least its good for the charities. Pity though even charged me the full wack at 9.00pm and many of the beers already sold out. Grumpy Old 19th year vetran. | | Frances & Frank 30 January 2006 | |

| | Thanks for a fabulous time last Saturday afternoon. Bents 'n' Bongs is always the best festival around. We loved playing for you and, all being well, we'll see you again in'07.
Pete Robinson (Cracked Flag) | | | Enjoyed the early session on Thursday, had some tremendous beers. Don't actually remember the train journey home to Wigan !! :-) Big thanks to Tom K. | | Doctor Porter 28 January 2006 | |
| | Doctor Porter will be on hand Saturday lunchtime 12 noon until 4pm - ie lunchtime surgery as normal, ie. somewhere adjacent to the Timothy Taylors Landlord or Robinsons Old Tom (although the Exmoor Gold is always brilliant!). Who needs a beer transfusion? | | Doctor Porter 27 January 2006 | |
| | To Glasscollector,
The only BBBB glass that I had was a 1991 original - unfortunately I raffled it three weeks ago at the local Tyldsley and District local Quakers Porridge Party - The buggers only paid 16p! | | Glasscollector 27 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | The glasscollectors theory is that drinking beer will make Cranky turn into a woman. To test the theory, tonight he will be fed 6 pints of landlord within a one hour period. It will then be observed that Cranky gains weight, talks excessively without making sense, becomes overly emotional, can't drive, fails to think rationally, argues over nothing, and refuses to apologize when wrong. Thus proving the glasscollectors theory!
Further testing is planned. | | | The Beerbashers brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells in the beerbashers brain first. In this way, regular consumption of beerbash beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

| | One man. One guitar. One bottle of brandy Jerome appearing Friday night.(I saw him having a coffee and a scone in whittakers in Bolton before Crimbo!) Blues and zimmer frames more like it!! | | Dr Hops 26 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | Your body can process one ounce per hour of alcohol, which translates to one beer. Anything more than that it can't handle and goes to your hangover slush fund. So as the BBBB is open 6 hours on Friday anything over 6 pints means hangover. If you plan on supping around 10 pints best put a fresh toilet roll in the fridge before you go out. | | Glasscollector 26 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | Beerhead:- Its not to soon to introduce yer man to the real stuff. The local Atherton mums dip the babies dummy in Holts bitter to prevent colic. He will be welcome at the bash, have you thought of a name yet (Hoppy, yeast, landlord or my favorite "hand pump") | | Steve Day 22 January 2006 | Email address hidden |

| | Welcome to deepest lancashire, thirsty. There will be many drinkers at the beer fest from USA. (Uther side of Leigh) they will make you feel at home. Get the landlord before Friday night as the glasscollector starts at 7.00 turning beer into water! I am dryer than the steps to the pyramid during a brewery strike. Roll on Friday the 27th! I need a 1991 Glass! | | | It's the finest collection of Beers, Burgers, Beards and Bellies I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling across!. Hope next weekend is equally as good, keep on bevving. | | | Greetings. Two other Yanks and I will be going to the festival as part our annual Real Ale pilgrimage to the UK. Suffice to say that beer is pretty dismal on this side of the pond. I suppose it is too much to ask to save some Landlord for Sat. afternoon, but I'm sure we can find some in Manchester or Liverpool. Cheers. BTW, we will be eating a diet exclusively of saltines and no water to give us a thirst to rival Glassblower. | | Glasscollector 15 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | I am off to madrid for altitude (attitude) training and deep tongue stamina training. I will be back for the beerfest with my thirst honed to perfection and my whistle in need of lubrication. Heads up for full suction by Friday the 27th jan. Taylors Landlord first ask questions later. | | Yorkytorment 11 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | Yorkshire Bank? seems a bit of an oxymoron, how the hell do you get your money out? | | | I do protest to the gods of hops and water about the naysayer who dares to use my name in vain. Witchcraft and trickery by the glasscollector no doubt. He fears the Nemesidal drinking powers that will sup the Landlord faster than a fast supping thing. Victory this year is surely ours. Muahahahaha | | | Glasscollecter, I often become drunk from quantities that to you are tie stains. I do not have a 1991 glass, I fear the next bash as your suction power has injured many already! | | Glasscollector 10 January 2006 | Email address hidden |
| | Another year of relentless searching for the elusive 1991 beer bash glass, to make my colllection complete. Only then will world (Atherton) domination be within my grasp, how my tongue yearns for the feel of the 2006 glass as the smell of the landlord creeps up Newbrook Rd, but nothing will compare to the satisfaction of a mint 1991. Hand it over I know you have one! | | Lanky Lad 10 January 2006 | Email address hidden |

Victory in the Landlord quaffing is surely ours this year. We will be halfway through the barrel before the Glasscollector has even set foot in the hall. | | | Thats it christmas is over,managed to get through without any serious hangover,but now need to get in training for the main boozing event of the year,but unlike the Glasscollector my training will be done in The Atherton Arms supping copious amounts of Holts Bitter See you Friday Folks. | | Peter Lee 29 December 2005 | |

| | It get's better every year. Thank's again to Ged from PA Hull & co for the invite.Although i feel 2005 may be my last visit. It's getting very expensive to travel 4,000 miles for a beer. Even though it's a very good beer. Keep up the good work.I do believe i still hold the record for the longest travelled.

| | Sorry to offend people they were ok just not my cup of tea. You always have to go with the majority on these matters. Do you reckon that you might have them ones from last year on again or not? Good to put the cat amongst the pigeons on these matters but we all agree the beer was just as good!!!!!!! | | Steve 03 February 2005 | Email address hidden |
| | The feedback we got across the bars on Saturday night was that the band was fantastic. No band is ever going to please everyone so we tend to go with the majority opinion of the feedback we receive. For the Spider Monkeys the feedback has been overwhelmingly good. If circumstances permit we will be having them back again next year. | | chris phillips 03 February 2005 | Email address hidden |
| | You could be right but it is my opinion so live with it son. I appreciate what they did but just wasn't impressed.
I think the majority may have liked it but a fair number didn't it would be good to have a variety on so get off your high horse and leave me with my opinions. At least we agree the beer is good anyway. Keep on sipping | | Phil Maiden 02 February 2005 | Email address hidden |
| | Yes, the Band played middle of the road stuff, but it's what people want to hear at a beer festival. If you want just rock music go to a rock festival. | | chris phillips 02 February 2005 | Email address hidden |
| | Fair comment but musically they were not as good. I dont go for the music firstly its the beer. But after a few drinks you want a good sound to stomp your feet to. sorry to rattle your cage its just my opinion. But that band were still rubbish just played middle of the road music.
get whatever back to rock the joint. Also whatever had a support band who did a few warm up tunes for them. It helped get everyone ready for them, Some friend of stuarts I think. keep on boozin boys and girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Philip Case 01 February 2005 | |
| | Woah ! Hold on a minute - the band on Saturday were good - they plyed songs for everyone ! I've been going to BBBB for a number of years and it's been a while since that many people were dancing ! It was a BEER festival with music, not a music festival with beer !, and the beer at the festival was excellent - keep on boooozin' ! | | kevin devon 01 February 2005 | Email address hidden |
| | They were called WHATEVER I know the band from the 2 years they played the festival. I have watched since there better than before and they were good then. I know they enjoyed the event and were hoping for a return slot for 2005. Lets get them on for 2006!!!!!!
