The Hope, Carshalton, will be toasting its success as the CAMRA Greater London Pub of the Year – for a fourth time – with the latest of its regular beer festivals, starting on September 28.

There will be 16 cask ales and four box ciders in the marquee, plus a rotating seven casks, six keg beers and four box ciders in the main bar. The festival runs from Thursday to Sunday.

Brewers from Lymington will be coming along and holding a Tap Takeover on the night September 28, when there will be an opportunity to find out more about Vibrant Forest Brewery and what it takes to brew the perfect pint.

The Hope is one of 16 regional winners as the Campaign for Real Ale sifts through entries for consideration as the national Pub of the Year.
