I have news about the Pig\u2019s Ear Beer &amp; Cider festival from CAMRA\u2019s East London &amp; City branch. We have had barely \u2018Time\u2019 to \u2018Breathe\u2019 this year in between making our beer of the festival award to Wild Card for their fantastic whisky barrel-aged stout and getting ready for the next festival. We\u2019ve been \u2018On the Run\u2019 to bring you the finest real ales and ciders from London and beyond, ready for the start of the festival on 28 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you hadn\u2019t spotted it from the track titles, this year we\u2019re celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd\u2019s album Dark Side of The Moon. Yes, that makes us feel old too but we\u2019re not quite ready to go to \u2018The Great Gig in the Sky\u2019 yet! You\u2019ll need a little bit of \u2018Money\u2019 and bring your friends along so you, \u2018Us and Them\u2019 can get together in Hackney\u2019s Round Chapel and explore a huge range of beers in \u2018Any Colour You Like\u2019, although we\u2019re renowned for our selection of dark ales. Our dedicated volunteers will be on hand as always to help you choose wisely and hopefully avoid \u2018Brain Damage\u2019 the morning after, so nothing will \u2018Eclipse\u2019 your fun. We hope you can join us there! And remember, \u2018if the band you&#8217;re in starts playing a different jig, we\u2019ll see you on the dark side of the pig\u2019.<br><strong><em>Alex Wall<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12141@2x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12141@2x.jpg 708w, https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12141@2x-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Speak to Me\u2019.
