In this podcast, we wanted to give you a feeling for this year’s Great British Beer Festival in Olympia, and the huge range of food, drink and learning on offer. It’s a great day out and of course there are festivals up and down the country organised by CAMRA branches, breweries and pubs that are also worth visiting throughout the year.
There were several books launched at the GBBF and we spoke with Des de Moor about his new book “Cask” and Adam Wells about his new Perry book.
Rather than edit those interviews to make them fit this festival podcast, we’re going to issue a Part 2 next week! There we’ll hear those interviews in full, alongside Pete Brown telling us about the “Drink Cask Fresh” campaign he’s been closely involved with.
