British conventions have a tradition of drinking the hotel bar dry. At last year's Worldcon, fans set a new record -- they drank the brewery dry. Yes, they were proud. I only regret that I wasn't there to help.

But surely Glasgow has recovered by now. Or so I thought until Tweeting Birds #9 reported that the members of Concussion, this year's Eastercon, ate the hotel out of...butter.

And ketchup, too, apparently. For the 4-part harmony on the ketchup and other news from Concussion, see the the full run of Tweeting Birds.

Yep - there were still two casks with Goldi-hops in them left when the bar shut. I've a vague memory that one was a bit cloudy - maybe had been lifted down and put back a bit quickly, or tipped forward too suddenly (which would imply that it was nearly done).

If they'd done the beer festival thing of having 2l plastic bottles available, it's quite possible they'd have finished what they had, but that could have backfired. As it was, there were still folk left who wanted to buy beer at closing time, but by then you needed a room key and not just a con badge....
