The Olympia GBBF ran for 5 whole days to the public this year, on 3-7th August, but due to other commitments we only made it to two of them - the Tuesday and Wednesday. 

There were over 450 ales to choose from, but we only managed to try about 15 each - doubly poor was managing to lose the first days notes, so not too many reviews this year unfortunately. Was a really good couple of days though, and there are some photos over in the Gallery .
