I went out to the Ealing Beer festival a couple of weeks ago and put some thoughts up here:

Briefly, it was interesting. I tried to stick with Milds, Bitters and other beers not normally found in good shape in the US. My favorite was the Matchlock Mild, which had a nice balance of roast, caramel and hops to compliment the nearly ubiquitous, though not overwhelming, ester profile of the cask ales over here.
Also, anyone going to GBBF?
