Introduction:
"Well, not quite 80, but I hope you enjoy this zigzag tour around the UK, visiting a number of its finest breweries along the way. But please don't drink and drive!"

9. We arrive back in London during the first week in August, which is perfect timing, as it gives us a chance to round off our tour with a visit to the Campaign for Real Ale's annual "Great British Beer Festival".

    Granny Wouldn't Like It
    Side Pocket for a Toad
