Great British Beer Festival 2014

Britain's biggest beer festival returns for another year with a circus theme at Olympia Grand.

With over 900 real ales, ciders, perries and international beers to try, the Great British Beer Festival has something for everyone and to suit every taste. This year is set to be the best festival ever with everything from limited edition brews and one-off specials from some of the best known real ale breweries, to award-winning favourites from microbreweries across the UK and even an American Cask beer bar unique to the event.

Brewery Bars have always been a feature of the Great British Beer Festival and are an effective way for breweries to create a high visual presence, trial a range of beer brands and talk directly to their customers. The 2014 festival will feature a total of 11 brewery bars, showcasing well known brews from some of the UK's biggest real ale breweries, alongside some limited edition specials. So far confirmed for this year are Brains and Hogs Back.

You can also play traditional pub games, enjoy live music, sample food, including good pub snacks, and attend tutored beer tastings.
