Top three pints of the festival?

This is going to be so hard.... Sampled a lot of of different beers throughout the course of the day. I'm going to ask my friends who came along for their top 3 also. One thing is for sure, the stouts and porters were all especially amazing. Vote in the poll -->

I'll be at the Great British Beer Festival

I shall be going down on wednesday afternoon to sample the delights of the festival. I'll be uploading pics live from there so check out the slideshow when it appears. See you there and enjoy!

Duke of Wellington - Ale Festival

Yorkshire Ale festival at the Duke of Wellington from 29th July to 2nd August. Great selection of festival Ales although they were quite warm and flat when served. I'm hoping the staff learn a little experience from this for future ale festivals View Larger Map

The Prince George

A great shame. Wonderful looking pub tucked in the middle of nowhere with extremely overpriced Fuller's ales. Caters for the under age crowd mostly. Staff generally too slow to do anything. Bouncer is a sad old man that is batshit crazy when he tries to talk to people. For your own good just give this place a miss and don't have your evening with friends ruined by these idiots. Avoid it like the plague View Larger Map

Old Thameside Inn

Wonderful selection of ales and great food. Always worth a visit if your near the river and want a view. Can get stuffed with tourists. Pickfords Wharf, Clink St, London, SE1 9DG View Larger Map

The Scolt Head

Great ale selection,good food, nice hidden pub and clientel are a bit trendy View Larger Map

The George, London Bridge

A historic National Trust pub in London Bridge. Large courtyard outside and amazing interiors apart from the modern bar parts. Can become really packed with suits after work and very busy in summer. Great selection of ales and nice atmosphere. Staff are lazy at best when it comes to service.

The white Lion of mortimer, Stroud Green. The Titanic's Tomahawk is easily the best ale I've tasted in a long time. Zulu blond also worth a mention as well as Honest ale

Cuthbert Broderick

View Larger Map Massive weatherspoon pub with lots of ale pumps. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Located on the side of a large open space called millenium square, near to the O2 Academy and opposite the Leeds civic hall. Very busy on the weekeends with slow service but well worth the visit anyway. Great pit-stop out on the town. 99 Portland Crescent, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 3AD, United KingdomTel. 0113 204 8570 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              0113 204 8570      end_of_the_skype_highlighting‎

Leeds Beer, Cider and Perry Festival 2010

Didn't manage to get in on saturday evening due to its popularity. The was over a hundred people queing to get in, while standing in the rain. It was a one in one out policy by the bouncers, so I did a pub crawl around leeds instead. Was looking forward to this festival for a while so its a bit of a shame. Will have to wait until next year for my festival pint glass from Leeds http://www.leedsbeerfestival.co.uk/
