The 39th Cambridge Beer Festival

For me one of the highlights of the year in Cambridge is the Beer Festival held every year on Jesus Green and it's especially good when the sun comes out to play too, as it did today on my first visit (I usually go at least a couple of times over the week long festival). Not only is there an outstanding selection of beers, but there are an array of food options too and none better than the cheese counter (over 60 types of cheese constantly rotating amongst 10 available at any one time). I had the cheese platter for dinner which consists of 3 different chunks of cheese, a hunk of bread and strangely 2 packets of butter. It's quite dear at £7.50, but it is an unusual opportunity to try cheeses that are not readily available.
Each year the festival is themed and this year, being its 39th year, the theme is based on Hitchcock's film The 39 Steps. One of my favourites!
