The Great British Beer Festival
The Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) is CAMRA's national festival, held every August for nearly 50 years and home to the Champion Beer of Britain awards. Its winter edition, GBBF Winter, hosts the Champion Winter Beer of Britain. Both are taking a break: neither ran in 2026, and CAMRA hasn't yet announced dates for 2027. We'll post news here as soon as there is any; meanwhile see camra.org.uk.
