Great British Beer Festival
Europe's largest real ale festival featuring hundreds and hundreds of real ales, ciders, perries and imported beers from around the world. Don't miss this year's event, which starts on Tuesday 11th August; see http://gbbf.org.uk/
There is lots to do at the Festival besides beer. Each session there are auctions including one for a trip to breweries in Burton-upon-Trent on Saturday 19th September - Marston's, Tower and Burton Bridge. Plus, on Thursday evening, there is a chance to bid to be the Brewer for a day at Oakham. For more information
