										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="IMAG0161 by terenceeden, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edent/4105689076/"><img src="https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2512/4105689076_308b2fd268_m.jpg" alt="IMAG0161" width="161" height="240"></a>
I've been to many Real Ale festivals in the last few years.  Small ones - such as <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100907055506/http://www.hockey.rathmeile.org:80/RAF/RAF_info.asp">Newbury</a> - take place in the summer and allow one to sit on a deck chair, supping a beer while watching cricket.  Behemoths - like the <a href="http://www.gbbf.org.uk/">Great British Beer Festival</a> - take place in vast, anonymous venues like Earl's Court; although the range of beers on offer makes up for the bland surroundings.</p>

<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101002150447/http://www.camra.org.uk:80/page.aspx?o=255001">Woking</a> falls comfortably in the middle.  Ironically, it takes place in a temple to health and fitness - Woking Leisure Centre.  What makes Woking Beer Festival so special, though, is the atmosphere.  Without a doubt, the star attraction is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100113070111/http://www.lenrawle.eu/">Len Rawle</a> playing the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100123050440/http://www.woking.gov.uk/leisure/leisurecentrepool/events/wurlitzer">Wurlitzer Organ</a>.  Several hundred Wokingers <a href="http://audioboo.fm/boos/76317-wurlitzer-boo">carousing like demented Vikings</a> is simply magical.</p>

<iframe title="Len Rawle playing the Wurlitzer at Woking Beer Festival" width="620" height="465" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bRz4sPisCrs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<p>Two things disappointed me during the day.  Firstly, drinks were only available in half or full pints.  The GBBF had 1/3rd glasses.  This was an excellent idea which meant that you could sample more varieties of beers and - if you found one you didn't like - you didn't waste too much of it.</p>

<p>Secondly, while there were more ciders on offer than ever before, the tasting notes were rather sparse.  While each beer got a sentence in the show guide, ciders and perrys were relegated to name only.</p>

<p>I <a href="http://audioboo.fm/profile/edent">AudioBoo</a>'d throughout the day - for your edification and delight, here are the highlights.
