Where: London, UK
When: August 2013
Britain's brewing industry is booming, with more than 1,000 breweries operational across the UK at present. For five days every August, almost 50,000 drinkers gather to celebrate that fact. Commonly tagged as the "World's Biggest Pub", The Great British Beer Festival (or simply GBBF) is the biggest of its kind in the UK and offers visitors beers from as far afield as Australia, the US and Japan, along with some from lesser-known brewing nations like Nigeria and Sri Lanka. A heady range of real ciders, perries and a small selection of bottle-conditioned beers complete the mix.
