Check out the best shots and winning beers from the Palace Beer Fest here!
The 2019 Crystal Palace Beer Festival was a huge success, with over 2,300 attendees enjoying a range of 200+ beers, ales and ciders as well as a fantastic collection of entertainment on a balmy Saturday afternoon.
The event saw SE25 play host to a wide variety of breweries and brews, with south Londoners enjoying great food and an enthralling Play With Legends clash hosted by the Palace for Life Foundation.
The match included faces such as Clinton Morrison, Andrew Johnson and Dean Austin battle it out before meeting fans at the festival itself.
They were joined by Neil Morrissey, Stephen Browett and Doc Brown, who opened the packed event.
Former Palace co-chairman Browett said: "Many thanks to Mark Russell of our sponsors The Cronx Brewery who did a sensational job in assembling a stunning range of craft beers and ciders from our local area and further afield.
"There were some truly superb beers on offer - many of which had never been seen in South London before today."
