The Campaign for Real Ale Ltd organizes the Great British Beer Festival annually. It offers cask ales and a variety of other beverages from the UK and beyond. It is known for being a significant beer and cider event.

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) organized the event, offering a plethora of real ales, international beers, and perries under the iconic Olympia roof.

Moreover, there is a vast selection of street drinks, food, and snacks. The ticket price also includes a value for entertainment, such as live music in the evenings.

You can try your luck at playing some traditional pub games. Try some festival shops for books on the brewery and CAMRA merchandise. You will also notice beer experts conducting beer tastings and learn more about the craft of brewing Britain’s best beers.

The CAMRA presents the Champion Beer of Britain award at the Great British Beer Festival, which typically occurs in early August. 

2. Tynedale Beer & Cider Beer Festival

It is considered the most massive and possibly the best beer and cider festival to taste in the Northeast! It got its name from its surroundings. It is an annual event held at Tynedale Park in Corbridge, home of Tynedale Rugby Football Club.

They have it all best in the region for June, along with some great wine and memories. Enjoy what you can with the live music and food. Its mission is to raise funds for charitable causes.

They offer camping chairs, but that’s not enough in a stampede, right? Get your tokens even before the food or beer gets sold. If you get a token from their website, call it exchanged at the event. You can use credit cards for the tokens as many beers are of two tokens. Token numbers will be displayed on all food and beverages.

This fundraising event helps the organizers and the rugby club. The festival is run entirely by volunteers.

3. FyneFest Fyne Ales Beer Festival

Located in Keswick, Cumbria, it is known for its annual Keswick Beer Festival, which lasts two days and is held at Davidson Park, the home of Keswick Rugby Club, set against a scenic backdrop of mountains in the Lake District.

One of England’s highest peaks, Overlooking Skiddaw, is where live music and the festival is hosted—a large row mainly for Cumbria’s brewery scene. A charming beer named after the crash of a speedboat in Coniston Water in the Lake District, everyone must taste it when they visit here.

6. Cardigan Independent Beer Festival, Ceredigion

Welsh craft beer is also unveiled every June by the Pizzatipi. Beers from Heavy Industry, Cwrw Ial, Polly’s Brew Co, and Crafty Devil, around 50 beers are exhibited. Challenges, music, silly games, and a big screen showcasing the Glastonbury festival are played at the weekend with the guests.

Beer festivals miss great music, and music festivals miss great beers for many decades. It is a three-day, full-fledged event held on an approximately 170-acre site.

You can get Happy Mondays, which will cover the comic acts on the main stage. You would also love the incredible food in the centre on the fire pit, cooking fine wines and cocktails, and unwinding to relaxation and yoga! You heard it right!

8. Craft Beer Festival in London

London breweries rule the world with their authentic beers at the Craft Beer Festival. They export laden barrels of wines, consisting of Indian pale ale. This is a decade-old setup.

Don’t just stick pints; take glasses and roam around with unlimited beers to taste, from microbrewing to large samples of the UK.

What an incredible weekend beer and music festival! Setup in incredibly scenic places.  And, of course, a plethora of Thornbridge bottled beers.

Located at Peak District, the first Peakender occurred in 2014 around Thornbridge Outdoors, a stone’s throw from Thornbridge Hall. Peakender began as an annual celebration of Thornbridge and a way to showcase the best breath-taking talent from our friends in the industry.

A relaxed, family-friendly festival, Thornbridge wants Peakender to be a place where everyone can relax and enjoy themselves. This includes excellent beer, food, and music.
