This long-running beer festival is heaven for all real ale aficionados. Run by the London and City arm of The Real Ale Association (Camra), there are over 400 beers to test ranging from traditional ales, through pale ales and porters, to ciders and perries. Good old British beers jostle for attention with imports and, with some rather interesting vegetable brews available, there is bound to be something to tickle all palettes. But, please note, this is a music-free festival, so any tunes are bound to be of the loud and drunken variety. See the website for public transportation options; it is recommended that you leave your car at home. Admission: £4-5.
