The Great British Beer Festival

If you enjoy drinking beer, you should definitely schedule your trip to London for August, when the Great British Beer Festival will be taking place. The festival, which has been going on for more than 40 years, honors cask ales from all around the world, including the United Kingdom. Every year, thousands of people gather and close to 1,000 drinks are given; in 2011, about 63,000 individuals stopped by to sample certain brews. The festival also has plenty of cuisine as well as live music and bar games.

The Campaign for Real Ale hosts the Great British Beer Festival, which is arguably the best beer festival in London. The main attraction for beer enthusiasts who attend this wildly popular event is cask ales, which are unpasteurized, unfiltered, in addition to being conditioned and served out of casks. The GBBF, which was first held in 1978, also has a sister event called the GBBF Winter that focuses on porter and stout beer.
