Its on this week and is definitely worth a visit. The opening night (last night) was busy without being heaving and the beer selection is _great_. As well as the usual beer festival fare there are also lots of high-strength winter ales including one-off porters and stouts going from a reasonable session gravity up to about 12%.
It s happening at Ocean, Mare Street, Hackney.
