Must admit I have never enjoyed the London drinker beer festival. I think it's the venue. Still I may chance my arm and see if anything has improved over the past couple of years.

It is too small, but all the festivals seem way busier than they used to be a few years ago.
I wish I could go in the afternoon, I guess you actually get a seat then?

Did anyone go? Was it any good?

i went on the weds evening and it was the same as ever - great beer, too many people!

Yes and yes old boy!

despite being my local branches beer fest, i won't be able to make it this year and am going to hitchin beer fest instead tomorrow night.

and i'll be on holiday when GBBF is on...

ah well, nice to do some new things as well.

had something called pider at hitchin, a cross between cider and perry, which was very nice.

anyone else like cider and perry? as a specialist pub has just opened in central london.
