Beer festivals in Dundee

Dundee's beer scene has grown up alongside its revived waterfront, and its festivals are part of that story. It proves Scottish beer reaches well beyond the Central Belt.

Smaller in scale but full of intent, the city's events run through the year with crisp lager and characterful stout to the fore. The taprooms make a welcoming way in.
