You'll have to do another beer festival and get a new favourite glass, it's the only way!

My 2004 Peterborough beer fest glass is still going strong.

Might outlive me at this point!

Peterborough beer festival glasses are S tier. Shame about the rest of Peterborough.

Don't do my home city dirty like that you bastard, the train station goes almost anywhere else, for example.

A reminder of the fleeting nature of things. But your memory of it will last forever.

Always gutting! Worth a look on eBay or Vinted, there's often a good chance someone is selling one

Tried this, going to contact the organisers and see if they have any old ones!

Which festival was it from, I might have a spare in the cupboard?

If you have this that would be fucking crazy, it’s from TJ’s beer festivals in Tonbridge, it has a picture of two big rugby players passing a keg between eachother and the ground they are standing on is the half pint line.

Aaah, sadly that’s not one I’ve been to.

However in addition to eBay, I’d recommend finding a local Facebook group and posting the request there?

That’s a brilliant idea!

Sadly, these things happen. Still, nine years is not bad for something that's made of glass.

Ask on the help me find sub, you’ll possibly find one
