Devout member of our mother church (https://camra.org.uk/) that I am I have to admit that the London Craft Beer Festival (LCBF) was vastly superior to the Great British Beer Festival (https://edsbeer.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-great-british-beer-festival-2023.html).

Though I was able to get free tickets for both events at the GBBF I had to pay for my own beer whereas at the LCBF all the drinks come with the ticket so I spent zero (0) pounds and zero (0) pence on beer. There may have been rank heresy on display at the LCBF and most of the beer came from the devil's drainpipe but you can't argue with free beer. The GBBF is going to have to up its game in the giving me free beer stakes if it wants to win the crown back.
One drawback at the LCBF is the beer is served in tiny "samples". But if you put the work in you can still get pissed, particularly as several types of tramp juice were available. If fact the barley wine from Queer Brewing (https://www.thequeerbrewingproject.com/) was my beer of the festival.
It's an awful venue though, too hot, loud, cramped and confusing but I guess you can't have everything.
