The UK’s biggest beer festival will once again be taking place at London’s Olympia exhibition centre from the 13th-17th of August.
The event, which is in its 36th year, is organised and run wholly by volunteers from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and will showcase over 800 real ales, ciders and perries from across the UK alongside specially chosen international beers that are rarely seen on these shores.
During the festival there will be several news stories available to cover, including the results of the Champion Beer of Britain Competition on Tuesday the 13th August, which selects the UK’s best real ale.
