It has been an increasing irritation for some time that there has yet to be a really great, all embracing beer festival in this country. Beer enthusiasts and progressive brewers alike have been frustrated that there is yet to be non-constraining festival where beers can be shown off irrespective of dispense method.

It was only a matter of time, of course, but it seems that the chit-chat about it has finally turned into real action.
There are to be at least two events happening this autumn which will include beer dispensed in a variety of ways. One is the Leeds International Beer Festival (http://www.leedsbeer.com/). We will be there (http://www.leedsbeer.com/beerbreweries/hardknott/).
This event is taking place in the Leeds Town Hall1 6th-9th September 2012.

The organisers are allowing breweries to pitch up with whatever format of beer they wish. For logistical reasons we have taken the decision to serve only keg and bottled beers. As it is, with our small team, it will be something of a challenge, so we feel that the extra problems of cask would make it impossible.
There is also a second event we have heard about, which will be great fun, but as yet news is sketchy. This is the Independent Manchester Beer Convention (http://twitter.com/@IndyManBeerCon), which will be held on 5th and 6th October 2012. We've been invited to this too. Watch this space for more news.
We're all full of nervous anticipation about these great events. 2012 is turning out to be a fantastic year for all sorts of reasons.
