great british beer festival 2006

CAMRA's Great British Beer Festival has moved to Earl's Court this year – lots of glorious ales as usual, and this year I also got quite into the cider. Lots of it actually doesn't smell like sick, and I really like some of the more dry ciders. I also discovered the deliciously and exceptionally tart lambic fruit beer, Oude Kriek by the Drie Fonteinen brewery. It's so acidic you have to drink it quite slowly, but it tastes glorious, like a very bad tempered old vat of cherries!
