wave of discerning young ale enthusiasts but also the occasional pint drinkers
looking to experience exciting new tastes and aromas.

attractions for the crowds to indulge in. Across the 2 days will be an
unstoppable line-up of great music with live music by day and DJ’s into the

delicious, locally sourced food plus a kids area. As if that wasn’t enough,
there will also be a full programme of edifying and entertaining talks giving
festivalgoers an insight into beer, brewing and food.
Celebrating the dramatically changing face
of London’s brewing industry and its enthusiastic new audience, London’s
Brewing 2013 will feature its own inaugural awards. Recognising the best
brews in the capital for their contribution to the London brewing scene,
accolades will be awarded by the London Brewers Alliance from an esteemed panel
