The Battersea Beer Festival is on as I&#8217;m writing and I&#8217;m planning a quick trip there tomorrow before going to Denmark for the weekend. I&#8217;ve been a bit cheeky and added the big Cambridge Beer Festival, even though it&#8217;s not on until May, but it&#8217;s always a great one, though this will be the first one for me where I don&#8217;t live in Cambridge, which will inevitably make it a bit less convenient. On the other hand is the Camden one, just by Kings Cross, going to be really easy with about 15 minutes walk home.<\/p>\n<table class=\"beertable\">\n<thead>\n<th>Date<\/th>\n<th>Location<\/th>\n<th>Festival<\/th>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;8-10 Feb<\/td>\n<td>London<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/batterseabeerfestival.org.uk\/\">22nd Battersea Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>16-18 Feb<\/td>\n<td>Luton<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sbedscamra.org.uk\/luton-beer-festival.php\">29th Luton Beer &#038; Cider Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>15-18 Feb<\/td>\n<td>Derby<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.derbycamra.org.uk\/winter-beer-festival\/\">11th Derby Winter Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>17-18 Feb<\/td>\n<td>Ely<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ely-camra.org.uk\/page7.htm\">3rd Elysian Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>24-25 Feb<\/td>\n<td>Chappel<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/chappelbeerfestival.org.uk\/winter\/\">3rd Chappel Winter Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;7- 9 Mar<\/td>\n<td>Camden<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.camranorthlondon.org.uk\/viewnode.php?id=772\">28th London Drinker Beer &#038; Cider Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;9-10 Mar<\/td>\n<td>Hitchin<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.camranorthherts.org.uk\/beer-festivals\/2012-hitchin\/\">Hitchin Beer &#038; Cider Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>15-17 Mar<\/td>\n<td>St Neots<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huntscamra.org.uk\/festivals\/branchbeerfestivals.asp\">The 37th &#8216;Booze on the Ouse&#8217; Beer &#038; Cider Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12-14 Apr<\/td>\n<td>Sidcup, London<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.camrabexleybranch.org.uk\/index_files\/Beer_Festival.htm\">7th Bexley Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>25-28 Apr<\/td>\n<td>Bury St Edmunds<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.camra.org.uk\/event_detail.php?id=4&#038;CODE=BR-EAN\">East Anglia Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;2- 6 May<\/td>\n<td>Reading<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.readingbeerfestival.org.uk\/\">18th Reading Beer &#038; Cider Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>21-26 May<\/td>\n<td>Cambridge<\/td>\n<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridgebeerfestival.com\/viewnode.php?id=3\">39th Cambridge Beer Festival<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for a beer festival update.
