I was working at the Ascot Beer Festival at the racecourse. Some photos here. None of the actual beer festival though. Too busy working.

The Pelt Trader in London

Another new 'craft' pub in London that opened recently. Made my first visit.

Situated on Dowgate Hill underneath Cannon Street station it is unassuming from the outside.

Inside, well the photos tell the story.
