50 4 Fifty - 50 Gigs and 50 Ales

50 gigs... 50 ales... think these two could be my favourite challenges!

Some rules
Ales - Bottled or served in Pub (Beer Tent) (Canned do not count!)

Bands - Needs to be a "full" set, so if "support" or Festival Set, need to see the whole performance. (ie i cant just wonder round a Festival site seeing one or two songs!)
