Best of beer to be showcased at NEC
Grab your tankards -- for the third year running, the National Exhibition Centre is to host The Great Beer Experience as part of the BBC Good Food Show.
The main event will attract more than 120,000 visitors during its five-day run (26-30 November), providing a fantastic showcase for this country's top breweries.
The beer-oriented programme has been sponsored by the Campaign for Real Ale and will feature tutored tastings run by pump pundits Jeff Evans and Roger Protz, as well as head brewers from Banks's, Jennings, Marstons, Ringwood and Wychwood.
You'll find further details here, but not the obvious question: why is the venue called the NEC Birmingham, when it's located in Bickenhill, well over the border into Solihull?
