Beervana is like a farmer’s market for beer. You can easily find out more about the beer you drink from the people who make it. When they’re not too busy they’re all keen to answer your questions so make the most of it.

Beer appreciation spans class, colour, creed, and facial hair deformity.

Yes, I know that this photo is in black and white but trust me, it was ginger.

Old friends who always get together over a beer.

And some other guy.
