Before kids, this was an annual event for me. Normally on the Thursday afternoon and evening, when the bands could be quite entertaining. Memories include Chas and Dave and a Madness tribute act!
Fond memories, but not 2013 for me.

I will be making my annual appearance at the gbbf (I go back to when it was held in Brighton in the late 80s). I'll certainly be there on the Saturday but probably on the Tuesday as well.

Sadly I do not have time; hence I will not attend.

Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Despite the plentiful choices of cider, I doubt that I shall attend. I seem to be booked in Bracknell all the coming week.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Giving all an early heads up that this year's GBBF takes place at Olympia from Tues 12 August to Sat 16 August. As per usual I'm intending going on the Tuesday (less crowded and all the beers are on). Anyone else going?
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
I probably am.

Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Last call- I'll be there tomorrow from 6.30. If anyone's going drop me a PM and we can arrange to meet up.
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
I asked my life coach whether or not I am allowed to attend and it appears the answer is no.

Re: The Great British Beer Festival
This year's GBBF starts next Tues (11 August) at Olympia and again I will be making my annual pilgrimage on this day and thus upholding an unblemished record stretching back to 1988. If anyone else is going and wishes to meet up then let me know (am planning to be there from 6.30pm).
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Starts a week Tuesday (9 August) which is when I intend going if anyone is interested?
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Can’t do Tuesday 9th. For me Wednesday 10th.

The tall handsome chap at stand B1 is drinking Butford Organics' very dry cider.
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Reportedly, he is now having a half of something less dry, from Barcombe.
Re: The Great British Beer Festival
Observers report that the tall and broad handsome chap in the blue striped formal shirt is at bar B20 drinking Perry.
