Future beer festivals in London?

[Crastney]

I'm looking for a beer festival in London, and not the big one at Earls Court - something small, single pub, lots of ales.

can't quite seem to find what I'm looking for, and the CAMRA site isn't providing what I'm looking for (maybe it's just me being thick) - it doesn't even have to be CAMRA event.

Thanks in advance

The CAMRA London festivals tend to occur as follows:
February: Battersea
March: London Drinker (Camden Centre)
July: Ealing
December: Pigs Ear (currently Hackney, I believe)

There may be other London fests but the above four are the ones I tend to go to, so as you see, you've just missed them this year until December!
As for pub fests, I tend to pick up a copy of the (free) London Drinker as and when I can and I'm sure I see some advertised in there.

No problem. All advertised in the latest london drinker, I think you can pick it up at the Maxwell(?) opposite Orp station if you're interested. There maybe a few more advertised that I missed!

Sweet... now I have an excuse to stop in there for a pint :

I can't vouch for it now, but 15-20 years ago it wasn't up to much, and an unlikely outlet for the LD. I wish you luck!
