Here's a quick bit of news for you. My friends at The Duke's Head, Highgate have taken it upon themselves to organise an 8-week long beer festival that will feature some of the best breweries in the UK. Duke's Head-Fest will be launched this Thursday at 4pm by Magic Rock Brewing Company founder Richard Burhouse as Magic Rock become the first brewer to take over the taps and pumps for an entire week. Each takeover will feature either meet the brewer event or a special beer release or both. The Duke's Head team has even collaborated on some of these beers themselves, which will be poured exclusively at Duke's Head-Fest. The full lineup for Duke's Head-Fest is as follows and you can catch both Rich, myself and The Duke's Head team at the pub from 4-6pm when we're heading to sister pub The Prince for our sold out beer dinner. See you at the bar.
