Roscoff ahoy - Íle de Batz beer festival

Biking today flows easier and it helps that I have a definite destination today. Annemarie (WarmShowers) had suggested that we met up on the island closest to Roscoff. A local beer festival is taking place this weekend and it seems the perfect way to spend a couple of nights. 
After 100km, I reach Roscoff and take the ferry to the island - Íle de Batz. There I find Annemarie and Ronan already having some support at the campsite. They are very welcoming and the festival looks like it will be good craic. 
The island is about 8 square kilometres and everywhere is walkable. The music line up is a mixed bag - DJs, live rock music and more electronic music (Sun Cowboy was great). Although not a fan of beers, Annemarie is a great guide who knows her IPAs. The love music stops at 2am and we have a moonlit trek along the beach back to our campsite.
