Problem with a lot of Camra events is the beer is not very well looked after. Wet sacks on the barrels doesn't work.

That's why SDBF uses proper cooling; jackets & chillers.

They use chillers to keep the beer at an even temperature have never seen wet sacks being used at any beer festival
Then you've not been around enough.
Jackets are very haphazard and do not give an even temperature, they are better than nothing though.

Saddles work just fine with firkins in that hall and have done for many years.
Good, I was only stating down the years I've been to many elsewhere and they have been poor, which is a shame as I'm an avid real ale supporter.
