Title: Beer Festival cancelled
Post by: TerryW on July 28, 2015, 05:47:58 PM
Such a shame


SEE YOU IN OCTOBER 2016
Because of the unforeseen political and economic conditions prevailing lately in our country, we would like to inform you that it is impossible to carry out the preparation and the conduct of this year's CORFU BEER FESTIVAL 2015 - '' Corfu meets Italy ''.
We would like to thank the participants and all visitors for their understanding and renew all our meeting for October 2016 with our Italian neighbors and more surprises!
For more information visit our website www.corfubeerfestival.org .

Yes it had to be decided quickly as it is not only to the decision of the Arillas people.
However the Corfu brewery and the People of Arillas are willing to prepare a smaller event  to host everyone  that will be at this time in Arillas!
stay tuned!

Any chance of bringing it forwards to first two weeks in Sept, when we will be their! what a shame, I am sure that the good people of Arillas will be able to do something.

A smaller event is better than no event at all..........
............. but knowing many of the locals around here, as we do, a smaller event would be a large as the larger event that was planned.

That's great news about a replacement event, which won't be small.

Same here Riggers, just as happy...... two weeks in Arillas will do just as nicely. The only difference for us will be not getting fried...it's so very hot here now that I will be soon be getting webbed feet from the time I am spending in the pool.

Thank you for the heads up Val. Next year we hope to be there for our 44th wedding anniversary on 23rd September, probably Armourada or Thalassa, and then stay until they chuck us out in November. Everything is up for grabs in 2016 for us two. Watch this space.

Hopefully we will be there......such disappointment this year, first the situation in Greece cancelling the actual festival and then the the "mini" festival put on by the brewery and village was rained off.

Still we didn't let it spoil our extra holiday though. We had a wonderful two weeks of relaxation and would come again in October even if there was no festival.

Lots of time meeting people we know and and putting names to faces to those we knew but hadn't met before.......also making new friends, for some of them it was a first visit to Arillas but all of them said they would come back.

Only the few of us will forgive the cancellation, those who already know how beautiful Arillas is. It has damaged the October tourism beyond belief. October is one of the best times to be in Arillas, stated from my own experience. Many friends have verified Jen's and my attitude to late Arillas, the October club?

I have so much to say about it, but the important part is extending the season. At both ends. Easter and Autumn. Views please?

Hi John, the info has been added to the brewery web page,  5th--9th October, so unless they change it I believe those are the dates.

Hope to see you again  next  October then 🍺🍻🍻
