Great British Beer Festival 2022

 5/8/22

 

Am writing this after 3 days there. 

First thing I noticed was the building work taking place.

You can read more about the redevelopment here.

Tuesday and Wednesday I worked in the foyer area. The entrance area was much smaller than the one previously used. To mitigate this we opened at 11 to allow people in before the festival opened at 12. Unfortunately there were still long queues to get in at times.

On wednesday evening one of my friends invited me behind the scenes for a beer tasting.

The beer was Harveys Imperial Stout scoring 5/5 for me.

Waiting for a train home I took these photos

Thursday I was just drinking.

First beers to drink were sours.

A quick and final visit to the staff bar

Then rest of day drinking US cask beers
