Great British Beer Festival

I popped up to the GBBF on Saturday morning to meet a friend and try some new beers. It was a hot day, and sadly most of the beers had sold out by the time I got there (@ 12:30 ish).

It was good to catch up with Jim, but I have to say I didn’t go a bundle on the atmosphere there; I guess you’re bound to get a nicer atmosphere at the smaller festivals. One thing that was nice to see were groups of (often young) women all enjoying the beer. Good to see the sandal-wearing bearded ale drinker stereotype drifting into the dim and distant past. So when’s the next beer festival? Thankfully not long away — next week will see one in Worcester. Don’t think I’ll be able to make that one though; maybe make the one in Peterborough though :)
