Has anyone ever visited the GBBF? In case you have, do you think it’s worth a day trip from Germany?

I haven’t - but I’ve just looked at the photos and it looks like a great, great event.
All the other beer/cider festivals I’ve been to have always been a day to remember - well maybe the memories were a little hazy - but good fun nevertheless.
I wouldn’t try and fly in and back same day - and make sure the flight back would be in the afternoon after not the morning after!

I practized at the International Berlin Beer Festival last year. After sampling gourmet beer all afternoon, I was still able to ride my rental bike to the restaurant of my choice (Joe Peña’s) ... and remember enough to qype about everything! ;-)

The Beer Festival is great fun. Have been there for the last two years. Not worth a day trip in itself but I dare say there are 1 or 2 other things to do in London.
The food isn’t as good value as the ale in my opinion but you get to meet some real characters, try some perfect pork scratchings, and sample some truly weird and wonderful beer.
I thoroughly recommend Cairngorm, Caledonian, and pretty much anything from Sharp’s Brewery, the Otter Brewery, or Hall & Woodhouse.

I’ve been to the GBBF on Wednesday - and had a great time! Hope to be able to attend next year’s festival as well, hopefully a little longer than just half a day.
