Just scanned through the bumf for the Nodge Beer Festival.

Here are the Arizona Bay [APPROVED] reccomendations, from the list of brewers/beers in the brochure:

Abbeydale (from Sheffield). Try "Deception". Grapefruity hop bitterness. Mouth puckering. Nice. Not too strong, but maybe a bit tipsy for a session.

Buxton (from Buxton). Moor Top is right nice.

Dark Star (from Brighton). Haven't tried either of the beers they're bringing, but Green Hop IPA - a 6.5% hop monster by Dark Star? I'd sacrifice a grandmother for a try of that, if I had any left.

Magic Rock (from Udders Feeled). One of my favourite breweries. Rapture is very nice, but I haven't tried the other one they're bringing - Ringmaster. Try both.

Marble (from Manchester) ERRMAGERD! Marble are my other contender for #1 Brewery. They're bringing six beers, and I've tried all but one ("Manchester"). "Pint" is a fantastic session ale. "Dobber" 5.9% IPA is awesomne, but Oh Emm Gee: Earl Grey IPA is my current #1 top beer of all time ever. A 6.8% IPA, complex, hoppy and bitter, with Earl Grey tea added in the fermenter. It's delicate and powerful at the same time. If you go, and you don't try a half of this, you're a f**king idiot, no excuses.

Wentworth (from Wentworth, between Sheff and Barnsley, near where I live) WPA is a tremendous session ale, one of my regulars.

There's also about two million other breweries I've never heard of.
