Festival returns

Readers may remember the beer festivals that used to be held at the Waltham Forest Corporation Sports & Social Club. These ended in 2016 when the club was closed. The organiser, Jamie and his team did not give up however and, encouraged by many supporters, wanted to continue. Despite their efforts, finding a new venue proved difficult. This was until last year when Jamie met Simon, the operator of the Wood Street Bear in Walthamstow, a converted delicatessen. The first festival at this venue was held in November and the four day event was a great success. It had a theme of beers not normally found in London. There will be another festival shortly; see the advert below.
