Beer festivals in Newcastle

Newcastle pairs a famous appetite for a good night out with a beer scene to match, and its festivals show it. The Ouseburn Valley is the buzzing heart of it.

Festivals run across the valley's taprooms, the city centre and a few grand old venues, with cask and modern keg both well represented. The North East holds a strong festival tradition, so there is usually something within reach.

See the brewers behind it on our Newcastle breweries guide, or browse festivals across the North.
