London Drinker Beer Festival 2006
British Cask Beer List
Please note that despite our best endeavours not all beers can be made available all of the time. Any changes to the programme will be displayed within the hall.
I would like to thank the brewers and suppliers for their efforts in making this fantastic range of beers available to us.
Tasting notes are from GBG (abridged), brewery websites, wholesalers, and me. Beer list by Steve Barnes
