Why am I going to all those beer festivals?

All these BF50 Challenge posts have a reason.

Simple, I am raising money for Help For Heroes.  Please go here to donate. Thank you.

41 down, 9 to go so I am confident I will reach my target, but the question now is how many will I reach in total.

Any donation will be be gratefully received.

Ian.

Off to Hackney for possibly my last festival of 2015.

Two visits made, lots of new breweries for me. Very good festival. Just 36 thirds consumed.

In the smaller hall is a Wurlitzer organ. This is relayed to a video screen in the main hall.

My first visit to the village of Sandhurst in Berkshire.

The Rose & Crown there was having a Halloween Beer Festival so off I went.






There were a few extra beers set up in part of the bar.


The handpumps were for cider.
