It's a beer lover's dream

If you love your beer, going along to the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia in London this August really is a no brainer.

The hugely popular five-day event this year features more than 800 real ales, ciders and beers from around the world, meaning you'll probably have to attend every single day to have a chance of supping everything on offer.

There'll be plenty of special brewery-operated bars serving up a quench-thirsting range of foamy delights, including ones run by the famous Fuller's, Suffolk-based Greene King, Harveys of Sussex, and Hogs Back from Surrey. From further afield you'll find Thwaites of Lancashire as well as the St. Austell Brewery all the way from Cornwall.

Of course, it's not all about beer (though it mostly is). There'll also be a wide range of food on offer – ideal for lining your stomach – and live music acts will be on hand to provide the entertainment. There'll also be lots of traditional pub games dotted about the place, too.

Sponsored by the Campaign for Real Ale – better known as CAMRA – the Great British Beer Festival is a fantastic opportunity to try new beers, have some laughs and quite possibly make new friends. Best grab a ticket or two now before the event sells out.
