It is being staged in the gardens of Le Gothique bar and restaurant, within the stunning settings of the Grade II-listed Royal Victoria Patriotic Building. More than 100 real ales and 25 craft ciders from breweries across the country will be on offer, with live music on Friday and Saturday nights from John Crampton and The Jo Burt Experience respectively. Mark Justin, son of organiser Andrew Justin, said: “Most beer festivals are full of bearded men sitting down reading the newspaper. We have a much younger crowd looking for a good night out.” In keeping with the season, Mr Justin said the majority of beers and stouts will be dark and they encourage punters to dress up. Mr Justin said that, unlike many beer festivals, theirs is popular with women. “I think on Saturday, 30 per cent of attendees will be female,” he said. A marquee will cover two thirds of the courtyard, which has won the Wandsworth in Bloom award three times, in John Archer Way. The event runs from 1pm until 11pm today and tomorrow. Organisers recommend visiting wandsworthbeerfestival.eventbrite.com to reserve tickets.

Go-ahead for low-cost homes LOW-RENT homes are to be built next year by Wandsworth council in a bid to reduce its housing waiting list. Planning permission has been granted for two projects building a total of 37 low-rent homes on council-owned sites in Battersea, including seven familysized homes. The new homes, on the Savona and Patmore estates, will be made available to Wandsworth residents to rent at below market rates. The town hall says “top priority” will be given to council tenants in the area who need to downsize or those in overcrowded homes. The council says that when tenants move to the newly built properties, their previous homes will become available for other Wandsworth residents, creating “chains of beneficial moves”.
The new homes will be owned and managed by Wandsworth council. Planning committee chairman Councillor Sarah McDermott said: “These projects will turn two unused sites into new, low-cost-rent homes which will be targeted towards the local community.” Councillor Paul Ellis, cabinet member for housing, said: “In recent years this council has created 250 ‘hidden homes’ from the underused spaces on our housing estates. “These two new schemes go a step further by building new low-cost homes on surplus land owned by the council. This will be the first stage of Wandsworth’s new home-building programme and we have more sites coming through the pipeline.”
