Probably the biggest and most anticipated event on the Beer Voyage calendar was this behemoth of a beer festival.

GET HYPE. As longtime fans of Beavertown Brewery, we were stoked when they announced that Beavertown Extravaganza (two of my favourite words) was landing in London this year and was set to be the largest craft beer gathering in the UK, well, ever. To make the occasion even more special we combined it with birthday celebrations for Beer Voyage co-founder, Hedges.

Beavertown Extravaganza (or BeaverEx to the cool cats) took place at the Printworks London, which is, unsurprisingly, a former printing factory. This huge industrial complex was the home for BeaverEx which ran across two days, Friday 8th and Saturday 9th September. The venue featured four main appropriately named Beavertown-esque rooms; the Rocket Room, Skulloon Room, UFO Room and the Rainbow Room. More on these later... There was also a huge food village area curated by Kerb (between us we had an amazing bhaji bowl, some fried chicken and a burrito - beer is hungry work!) and a small merch area near the entrance. There were several thousand people heading to the event but fortunately, Beavertown found a venue massive enough to house all of the eager craft beer drinkers and allowed entry to the venue two hours prior to entry to the beer rooms which helped with the crowds. If it wasn't already apparent - this event was huge. Really huge.
