Want a seat at the Olympics… the Real Ale Olympics, that is?
Well now you can get TWO of them, for FREE… thanks to CAMRA and Hand-Pumped!
The quest for gold is on once more, as Britain’s best brewers battle it out for the nation’s top real ale medals at the Campaign for Real Ale’s flagship event, the Great British Beer Festival – which is fittingly being held this year at London’s Olympia.
At the same time, more than 55,000 ale-lovers will pack the Kensington exhibition centre, for a five-day extravaganza that features over 800 different real ales, ciders and foreign beers, from August 7-11.
And YOU could be part of the action! For Hand-Pumped has teamed up with CAMRA to give away a pair of free tickets to the show.
Our lucky winner will receive two tickets to “Britain’s Biggest Pub”, worth £12 to CAMRA members or £16 to non-members.
The chosen pair will be able to sample from hundreds of the finest beers being made – including the Supreme Champion Beer of Britain 2012, which will be judged and announced just before the fest opens to the public.
In addition to the great beer, there will also be scores of world-food stalls and a bevy of live music to enjoy – and our winner will even have the chance to write his or her own blog/review of the event, with pictures, to feature on the Hand-Pumped site, if he or she fancies their chances as a beer writer!
The festival opens on Tuesday, August 7, with a trade-only session from noon-5pm, followed by the first public session from 5-10.30pm.
General admission times are: Wednesday, August 8 to Friday, August 10, from 12noon-10.30pm; and Saturday, August 11, from 11am-7pm.
Last admission times are 30 minutes before the end of each session.
Our ticket winners can visit the festival on any day – the only session for which the tickets are not valid is the trade-only session on the opening day.
Day tickets cost £6 for CAMRA members, £8 for non-members. CAMRA members can buy season tickets for £20, while non-members pay £23.
To be in with a chance of winning our prize, all you have to do in answer the following simple question:
How many ales, ciders and foreign beers are expected to be on the bars at this year’s Great British Beer Festival?
Entries must be made on email, to info@hand-pumped.co.uk and must contain your name, email address, contact telephone number, and the correct answer.
The closing date for entries is Saturday, July 22, 2012.
The first correct answer pulled from the Hand-Pumped hat will be the winner, who will then be notified by email.
There are no cash or other alternatives to this competition prize, and the editor’s decision is final.
