It’s been a rather hectic week, with two trips up to London,
a surveillance audit at work, plus the usual run of the mill stuff that
constitutes a busy working life in 21st Century Britain.
The visits to London were at the start and then the finish
of the working week, and both were connected with CAMRA’s Great British Beer
Festival, but as I’m intending to write about them both separately, all you
need to know for now is that Monday evening’s trip was for the British Guild of
Beer Writer’s Summer Party, whilst Friday was an all day, so that I could attend
GBBF.
The connection between the former and the latter is that every
year the Beer Writer’s Guild hold a party which, by tradition, takes place on
the evening before the opening day of the Great British Beer Festival.
Both events were good in their own right, and there’s lots
to tell about each one, but this week Southeastern Trains have certainly had
their money’s worth out of me, and that’s with the one-third discount which my
Senior Railcard qualifies me for.
So it’s a case of knuckling down and bashing away on the keyboard
to bring you all the latest news and gossip about these two linked and GBBF-inspired
events.

Hope you didn't meet any strange people in That London.
No strange people Martin, but you wouldn’t expect me to answer otherwise!
Plenty of interesting people at both events, plus the chance to experience two very different aspects of the contemporary UK beer scene.
