Ealing Beer Festival 2015

Even a tube strike wouldn't deter me from visiting the Ealing Beer Festival this year given that they had two gluten-free beers on offer and that I had just moved home and was in need of pint glasses. The GFPA from Allendale was sadly unavailable on day one so I put all my eggs in one basket and trekked over to the other end of the tent's alphabet to find Wold Top's Against the Grain. A couple of half pints of this smooth pale ale hit the mark, rocking in at 4.5% and offering a creamy, assertive taste. I'm still rather fond of the home-brew two friends helped concoct for me but Against the Grain passed the test, unveiling a shroud of that ever resonant adjective used for so few gluten-free beers: drinkable.
