I've just heard from a reporter at The Marlborough Express that it's very likely that Blenheim's Blues and Brews will be forced to use polycarbonate drinking vessels this year. I am not aware of any such equivalent demand being made on the Wine Marlborough event. (This is incorrect: see below).

Having previously run an online petition on the very same issue (and won), as you might imagine I have very strong feelings on the subject. I, for one, will not be attending the event if beer is being served in polycarbonate vessels.

Your thoughts? (Let's keep it clean and constructive folks!)

And here's the review of Saturday's festival from today's Marlborough Express...

"Good crowd behaviour might support the return of handles in 2011 if organisers decided to reapply for their use, Mr Boon said this morning."

Anybody betting the wine festival will change to plastic?

a friend brought me back a porcelain stein from Prague - nice gesture, and i'm preferring it to glass.  get your Nelson potters to provide the solution.
