Another day, another year, another trip to the Great British Beer Festival - the UK's biggest pub!

It's taken me five years but I've finally done it - this year I finally made it to the Great British Beer Festival. Cue lots of talk of ale, pie, buses and of course, Rich Tea biscuits. (You'll have to read it to find out...)

Since 2002 the September Cask Beer Week has been celebrated in London by giant pint pots running around and causing mayhem - all in the name of getting you to have a pint.

I especially miss Fuller's pubs in the autumn when they do their beer festival.

In case anyone is wondering why there has been no follow up to last years wonderfully succesful Eurovision 2003 post, then I should state that Saturday night was spent at Beer on Broadway - also known as the Ealing Beer Festival.

A quick roundup of three of the recent beers I've partaken of.

After all that searching for Double Maxim, what should I find in the Ealing branch of Safeway on New Years Eve? You guessed it...

I last supped Double Maxim not long after the Vaux brewery closed in 1999. Well until last night anyway. And it's good to have it back!

Want a nice brown ale in London? Marks and Spencer might well be the place to visit then.

London Porter is making a rare appearance in cask form - get out there and try it! It's fan-bloomin-tastic!

Russian beer Baltika is coming to the UK. But out of the 10 possible versions of the stuff, it's not the rather nice brown ale, the wheat beer or the divine porter. Nope. It's the rather naff lager that will soon be hitting the bars of London. Yet another wasted oppertunity...

All the great beers have now gone from the Grange in Ealing. I'd go elsewhere if I was you.

A fine pub in a fine location, and by the looks of it, great for us mild fanatics as well!

It's Good Friday, and there's a beer festival at a pub that's nowhere near where you live. What do you do? Well it's obvious! Make up an excuse to be in the area!
