Great British Beer Festival 2020 Cancelled!

2013 GBBF

The 2020 Great British Beer Festival (GBBF), which was to have been held in August, has been cancelled by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) due to the Coronavirus 'crisis' (CAMRA website). The GBBF has been an annual event for over 40 years now, and attracts about 40,000 visitors a year, enticed by a selection of over a thousand different beers. Not only real cask-conditioned ales are sampled, but American and British crafty keg beers, and real ciders too; also a range of great food is usually available. I have visited a number of times, for example in 2013 (my older, unused now, blog), but more rarely in recent years. Still, it's sad to see there is no GBBF after more than 40 years of one, oh well, keep safe fellow drinkers.

I seem to be sharing just bad news all the time... 😧

Roll on re-opening, whenever that is, cheers!
