📣 2024


With head brewer Cameron of Turning Point Brew Co. heading down to the The British Guild of Beer Writers today, as he’s up for their ‘Brewer of the Year’ award, we thought it’d be the perfect time to share that they’ll be back pouring at our 🎉🍺 Known for their perfectly balanced pales, big stouts and their annual Custard series of beers 🍮 They always bring the flavour and the party 🎉

📣 2024


A wall of Torrside Brewing beer labels and this isn’t even all of their beers! Which ones have you enjoyed…? Known for their love of smoke, big, weird and wonderful beers via their Dogs of War, Cats of Chaos and Monsters series. We’re fans of their modern take on classics such as dark milds and porters.

📣 2024


A perfect time of year to share that dark beer maestros Siren Craft Brew will be joining us at 🚨Having just released this year’s iteration of iconic Caribbean Chocolate Cake tropical stouts; Siren Craft Brew’s barrel store alone put them up there in the big stouts sphere top rated 💯 With over 100 releases planned year in year out, they’ve not been resting on their laurels since launching in 2013.

📣 2024


A new week, a new set of brewery announcements 💥 2024 will be the first year we welcome one of Leeds’ newest outfits, the community driven Amity Brew Co. Based in north-west Farsley the brewery is set in their own brewpub in the aptly named Sunnybank Mills. They love interpreting classic beer styles and experimenting with new ingredients to bring a modern twist.
☀️🗻🍺

📣 2024


A brewery that need no introduction, celebrating 18 years strong in Bakewell and widely regarded as being one of the pioneers in the modern beer movement - Thornbridge Brewery 🍺 With a selection of great pubs in and beer exported all over the world. The quality beers they brew cover everything (!!!), we’re big fans of their take on classic lager-styles and their barrel-aged offerings, such as the decadent Necessary Evil imperial stouts. Start with a glass of their flagship IPA, Jaipur, then work through the rest of their timeless classics.

📣 2024


Let us introduce to you Sobremesa Drinks your favourite new brewery AND cidery 🍺🍎 Situated on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) they fuse Welsh and Spanish roots. Sobremesa is a Spanish noun
/soβɾe'mesa/ referring to that
time after lunch when people linger at the table and chat with family and friends. They create beers and ciders of their ‘place’, maybe we can dare to even say terroir-driven! Discover and taste their farmhouse beers and natural ciders at our festival. Linger longer at this brewery’s bar over and enjoy the glow of Sobremesa.

📣 2024


There’s no denying Track Brewing Co. brew outstanding hopped-up pales and IPAs, beers that have cemented their reputation on the brewing world stage. But it’s been a long haul, celebrating 9 years and finally finding their proper home home at their second site in Manchester. Festivals like their annual Welcome to the Neighbourhood which saw them collaborate with New York’s Finback Brewery to showcase beers at their taproom. We always remember their cycling roots 🚲 and the travels and friendships they’ve made always infuse their approach and ethos. They’re making tracks to our festival in March 2024 and they’ve put a big smile on our face. 🙂
