Doubt I can make it, sadly. Last real ale fest I went to was a CAMRA one in Battersea eight years ago. too long! We have a huge San Francisco International Beer Festival each year. It's a flat $30 ticket for all you can eat and drink. I met the brewmaster of Fuller's there about two years ago. Great wide and diverse selection of beer. Sadly, it's been totally overrun by jackasses who get staggeringly drunk and obnoxious, so it's no longer worth the trouble. Much much more wonderful is the annual Barleywine Festival at the Toronado pub. This year, there were over 80 varieties. Packet to the rafters all week long, but packed with enthusiasts, so it's great.
