Tickets are up for sale for this year's Great British Beer Festival (http://www.gbbf.org.uk/) and it would be great to see if we could get a dMw gathering for this one.  

Tickets - £10 (non-member) or £8 (CAMRA member).   Includes a free program.
Venue: Olympia, London
Date: 13th-17th August 2013 (opens 12pm each day I think).


Anyone interested in meeting up and exploring the beers, ciders & perries?

Which day would be best?  Personally I'd avoid the Tuesday (not all beers have been put out) & the Saturday (quite a few of the popular beers have sold out), so would prefer to go on the Wedsday, Thursday or Friday sessions.  

If you're interested then place a vote for the days you could make and we'll see if we can get a group  of us together. :thumbsup:

Sounds like a plan. It's far enough away that any day works for me.

Not been to this one before so would love to go. Friday would be best for me, but as it's a few months off, any day would be ok.

I'm interested...

Friday would be best, I don't fancy trying to get into work from London.

Sounds like a chuckle and beer festivals are always fun. I would agree with Friday being the better day as it leaves the weekend to recover should to many beers be tasted :blink: will book it off with work once we know the day and if Friday only need to book the one day :D.

Sounds like a good idea.

Think I can currently make any of the weekdays: wed or Thu means a slow day at work but hopefully recovered enough to enjoy Saturday too; or means not impacting work but needing to spend Saturday recovering... Priorities :-)

Yup I would be more than up for it, and Friday would also be the best for me.

:cheers:

Ok it seems like the Friday is already starting to get a clear lead, so let's plan for that day.    I'll close this thread and open an 'attending' thread for the Friday.

New thread to book is here:
