Fifth CAMRA and Wenlock Autumn Beer and Cider Festival
This is just an advance warning that there is some fine drinking going on over at the Wenlock Arms at the end of this month. The Wenlock is reviewed here on Improvable Tripe, the Randomness Guide to London, and RBW's Beerdiary. Summary: it's a good'un.
The beer festival seems to have escaped review, but if the 2006 one was any guide, it's rather fine. It's also awfully popular, oddly enough, so if you want a seat, arrive early.
It is extremely likely that ASRBrum and ASRLon will be holding a piss-up during the festival and thus for these purposes, Hoxton will be declared to be a suburb of Birmingham. To that end, I propose a joint ASR* meet-up to occur at the usual 2pm on Saturday 27th October. Be there, or stay sober. I have a small amount of crash space available.
Also, given that beer festivals start running a bit dry on the Saturday afternoon, I also propose a quick warm-up around 7pm on the Friday beforehand for those who happen to already work in the area and need a few pints of oblivion to forget their soul-crushing jobs.

Looks like I'll be working at a customer site in the city for the fortnight surrounding that weekend -- how handy! Given that, the warm-up session sounds like a spiffing wheeze...
Sounds great (we missed the GBBF and a small one would be very welcome).
Only thing - it says "upstairs room".
D'you suppose they'd bring stuff downstairs for disabled people, assuming they don't have a lift?
The bar downstairs will be open too. I expect somebody will be kind enough to be the gopher for you if you specifically want an upstairs-only beer.
