A party of Brakspear licensees, pub team members and head office staff travelled to this year’s Great British Beer Festival aboard a London Routemaster bus. The group, of 68 people, gathered at the Pocket Watch in Shepherd’s Bush for a pre-fest brunch of bacon and sausage baps before boarding the bus for the journey to Olympia, where they enjoyed sampling the hundreds of beers that make the GBBF event one of the highlights of the beer lover’s year.
