The Great British Beer Festival celebrates beer from across the UK, and indeed, the world from the 5th to the 9th of August 2008 at Earls Court in London. Connoisseurs and amateurs alike are in attendance to sample some of the best beer in the world. More than 750 types of beer will be available for sale, out of which 450 are choice British ales. The five day event kicks off at 5 pm on Tuesday 5th August and doors close approximately a half hour before the scheduled close of each session. Children under the age of 18 are admitted free of charge, but they must remain in the special Family Room, which is open from noon until 9 pm (or 7 pm on Saturday 9th August). Corporate packages for entry are available for organizations interested in or related to the brewing industry to have employees attend the event as a group. For security purposes, visitors are requested not to carry bags to the exhibition hall. A cloakroom service will be available for a fee to deposit bags at the entrance. One of the highlights of the Great British Beer Festival is the tutored tasting session. Experts provide guidance on the professional method of beer tasting during afternoon or evening sessions. Interested attendees will be advised on the taste, look, style, and history of the beers being sampled. In addition to the great beer and satisfying pub grub, live entertainment will also be featured at the event. On Tuesday evening, the Chaminade String Quartet will return as a hot favourite playing everything from Vivaldi and Beethoven to jazz and chart-toppers. You may even hear some of the more popular pieces from musicals and stage shows. On Wednesday afternoon, singer/songwriter Gary Fletcher will be doing a solo performance. Bob Harris of BBC Radio 2 once remarked that the performance was “very Mark Knoplferish.” Also performing on Wednesday is the Sheffield-based band Treebeard, playing acoustic music on instruments such as the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion, balalaikas (of various sizes), assorted percussion and instruments. Thursday afternoon will see visitors regaled by the acoustic, instrumental world roots music of L.T.D. and later a performance by The Peter Donegan Band. Singer/songwriter Martin Harley will be performing with his band on Friday with an old time blues and folk sound as will The Bogus Blues Brothers with their signature R&B style. Rounding off the entire event will be a stunning performance from the Fulham Brass Band, which comprises a group of as many as 40 musicians playing traditional brass band music.
