Teaming up with Bristol Beer Week, which will run from 27th August – 2nd September, and working with local breweries and bars, the festival will be the finale to a stellar week of beer in Bristol, showcasing the best of the Bristol craft beer scene and the wider craft beer community.
Highlighting Bristol’s contribution to the worldwide craft beer scene will be local breweries including Arbor, Wiper & True, Wild Beer Co., Lost & Grounded, Left Handed Giant and Moor, with a full line-up to be announced in the run-up to the festival. Brewers from the wider UK will include The Kernel, Beavertown, Magic Rock and Brewdog, and international guests from the US and Europe will also join in. Each brewery will be bringing a selection of old favourites, new innovations, collaborations and more, with guests able to sample up to 250 craft beers at the festival.
It’s not just about the beer: visitors can also enjoy delicious treats & street food-inspired favourites, using seasonal ingredients and local suppliers. There will also be live music (acts to be announced), with previous performances at London Craft Beer Festival having included the likes of Chase & Status, Ghost Poet, Craig Charles, Artful Dodger, Public Service Broadcasting, The Cuban Brothers and DJ Yoda.
