If you're a regular attendee of the Great British Beer Festival, then you'll know all about it - basically, Earls Court turns into a huge pub for the week, and 50,000 people visit. If you're a bit more of a beer geek, you might be aware of the Bieres Sans Frontieres bar, which showcases the best of the rest of the world's beer. There are always treats from the USA, Scandinavia, Germany and Holland, plus a few bits from everywhere else. You can have a look at their beer lists here.
It's a line up beers to make anyone envious, and in fact when we attended the festival last year, we were so envious that we thought 'hmm, I wonder how we can have a slice of this action?'. The good news is that after a few months of negotiation, it looks as though we will be buying a portion of the left over beers from the Bieres Sans Frontieres bar.
We're not totally sure that this is a done deal, and we're not totally sure how we're going to sell the beers when we get them - some will go into our Leeds shop, and some will be available through our mail order service. But it's all looking set to work - the only flaw might be that there aren't enough bottled beers left over to make up a full pallet. But with any luck, next month we'll be holding our own mini World Beer Festival - please do check back for updates, as it will go live first here.
And of course, don't forget to check out our usual huge online beer offering here.
