Great British Beer Festival, Olympia

Fancy that bubbly blonde at the bar? We’re not talking about a pub flirtation – the Great British Beer Festival is in town, with boozy offerings to make you swoon like no post-work-drinks encounter ever could. Members: we're giving away ten pairs of free tickets, so you can head down to the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia for fun on tap!

The Festival is one of the biggest events of the year for any self-respecting brew connoisseur. Brewers flock here from all four corners of the London metropolis, bringing more than 900 different beers with them. As a result, the variety is endless: from full-bodied real ales to quirkier combinations – we're particularly excited for their raspberry wheat beer – there really is something for everyone.

Only one brew, judged and announced on the first day of the Festival, will win the coveted title of Champion Beer of Britain – giving you plenty of time to try a pint (or more). There are a plethora of options for eats, from classic bar snacks to tasty international street food to help line your stomachs.
