31st Anniversary Beer Festival

Our anniversary beer festival is back on Saturday 26th July 2025 12 until 7pm here at the brewery in Bowburn. Those who’ve been before know it will be a relaxed and friendly event with lots to keep you entertained throughout the afternoon.

BEER Plenty of new beers are continually emerging so we are sure to have something you won’t have tried alongside our old favourites. The marquee will be up again as insurance against the great British summer! In addition to the beer we’ll have soft drinks, cider plus prosecco, gin, whisky and rum. Children and dogs are welcome as long as they are supervised by well-behaved adults. Dogs are always welcome in our shop and bar area but not in the main brewery (except assistance dogs) which we open up to the public for the beer festival.

LIVE MUSIC Headlining this year we have the awesome Driven Serious playing an acoustic folk rock set. Before that though, Tony Bengtsson with his socially conscious modern country folk, hugely talented singer songwriter, Marrianne and James Hedley, an absolute star with a guitar (doesn’t do him justice).

STREET FOOD Piggy Blinders will be there banging out the burgers and filthy fries to keep you well fed throughout the day.

Tickets are £15 per person (no ticket needed for children or dogs) and include a limited edition pint glass or tumbler plus 3 drink tokens (half pint up to 5% abv or can be used for the other soft and alcoholic drinks). Available from our online shop and the brewery shop. We recommend that you bring a folding chair if you can as although seating is available, it is limited. Please don’t bring drinks on site…we have plenty and it is our licence!
