 Hello Dominic, 
 Britain's biggest beer extravaganza returns to Olympia from 7-11 August. 
  
 With just over a week to go until the Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) opens its doors, its organiser, CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, is excited to return to Olympia for the first time since 2005.
In 2011, GBBF welcomed over 60,000 visitors who supped over 250,000 pints of British ale and 23,000 pints of real cider and perry and this year looks to be even bigger.
 
 
 
 Come and meet Britain's best loved brewers

 With over 800 real ales, ciders and perries, as well as foreign beers, the Great British Beer Festival is Britain's biggest pub and many of Britain's best loved brewers will be taking their own stands at the festival including:
  • Marston's
  • Worthington
  • Wells and Young's
  • Brains
  • Thwaites
  • Hogs Back
  • Greene King
  • Fuller's
Festival-goers can soak up beer with traditional British pub grub and enjoy classic pub games such as bar skittles whilst listening to an eclectic live music range with acts including Kitten and the Hip and the Deborah Bonham Band.
