We are reporting LIVE from the Great British Beer Festival, taking place from 2-6 August at Olympia London!

In this episode, we speak to Festival Organiser Catherine Tonry about organising a beer show of this size. We also shine a spotlight on some of the great features at this year's event - including our Discovery Bar, the book launch for World's Greatest Beers with author chats and the launch of our new beer & rugby competition (enter here: https://gbbf.org.uk/luckydraw/)

Our hosts Clare, Alison and Simon are on the ground throughout the day speaking to brewers, judges and punters, and reporting live on the winner of CAMRA's first-ever homebrew competition.

We also have a special code for listeners to get a free case of beer from Beer52!
