The 5th Wandsworth Common Beer Festival. Beers were a tad cold as on a outside stillage but all in good condition. Got steadily more crowded and difficult to get to the bar as the afternoon progressed.

A lovely sunny day but the main beer area is in a courtyard which loses the sun early. Almost all the beers were on from opening (two were not quite ready) so plenty of choice. I have just listed those I had.
