Five of the best: festivals for beer lovers - FT,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Handbags[/url].com
The London Craft Beer FestivalThe Great British Beer FestivalCamra (Campaign for Real Ale) is sometimes accused of fuddy-duddy tendencies, but its flagship festival, first held in 1977, has done a decent job of moving with the times. Alongside a huge selection of cask ales (look out for Redemption, Gadds’ and Fyne), there will be beer from around the world. The Italian offerings are worth a look: try Birrificio Italiano Tipopils, a flinty, bitter, nigh-on perfect Pilsner.MoreIN FT MagazineThe Psychiatrist When is stress an illness? The last picture show A lesson from the other ‘sage’ of investing Why Mr M is hotter than he’s ever beenAugust 13-17, Olympia, Hammersmith Road, London W14 8UX, 0844 412 4640; www.gbbf.org.ukThe London Craft Beer FestivalIn the same week as GBBF, this new festival brings a different philosophy. A select group of brewers (including Londoners The Kernel, Partizan and Camden Town) have been invited, as well as big names from further afield such as Mikkeller and Magic Rock. You can also expect street food and moody East End sounds.August 16-18, Oval Space, 29-32 The Oval, London E2 9DT,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], 020 7183 4422; www.londoncraftbeerfestival.co.ukSun in the Glass FestivalThe Czech Republic is known for its magnificent pale lagers but there’s increasing variety there too, as visitors to the Slunce Ve Skle (Sun in the Glass) Festival will know. This is a lively, relaxed event with beers not just from the Czech Republic but Germany, Britain and further afield as well. Beers from Kocour and Uneticky, two stars of the Czech new wave, come highly recommended.September 21, Hotel Purkmistr, Selská náves 21/2, 326 00 Pilsen, Czech Republic, 00420 377 994 311; www.slunceveskle.czBorefts Beer FestivalFew festivals get aficionados as excited as Borefts, and with good reason. Those breweries lucky enough to be invited are expected to push the envelope, so you’ll find all sorts of interesting and unusual offerings. Try something from the hosts De Molen,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]michael kors canada[/url], who are known for their rich, often inordinately strong, stouts and porters.September 27-28, Brouwerij de Molen, Doortocht 4 and Overtocht 43, Bodegraven, Netherlands, 0031 172 610 848; www.brouwerijdemolen.nlIndy Man Beer ConHeld at the magnificent Victoria Baths, the Independent Manchester Beer Convention seems to have rewritten the rules on what a British beer festival looks like: it’s both more relaxed (unlike at Camra festivals, keg beer is welcome) and more serious about what’s in the glass. Look out for Marble,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.net]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url], Redwillow and Hawkshead breweries.October 10-13, Victoria Baths, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester M13 0FE; 07967 257504; www.indymanbeercon.co.ukWill Hawkes is author of ‘Craft Beer London’ (Vespertine Press), £10Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2013.
