One thing that is painfully obvious to me this week is that I’m not in London.
This is the week of the Great British Beer Festival, the grand-daddy of all beer festivals and Mecca for lovers of cask ale. I last attended in 2005, so I’m feeling enormously deprived… (lol) The fact that several of my NERAX colleagues are there now helps not at all.
GBBF offers over 350 cask ales from all over Britain, as well as a foreign bar that serves about 50 American cask ales, many American bottle beers, and kegs and bottles from Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and many other countries.
Outside the festival one is confronted with the pubs of London. If that’s not enough, there is Cricket on now both at Lords and The Oval.
Good Grief!
