A home for every brewery in the country

Behind every great beer festival is a roll call of breweries. The cask veterans, the railway-arch upstarts, the farmhouse tinkerers and the cult haze-chasers. Beer Fest Buddy lists them all in one place, from long-standing Yorkshire cask champions to brand-new microbreweries pouring their first batch this season.

Browse by region to see who brews near you, or search by name if you already have a favourite. Each brewery links straight to the festivals where you can find their bar, so a name you like becomes a weekend in the diary.

Real ale, craft and everything in the glass

Whether you drink traditional cask bitter, hop-saturated IPA, crisp lager or a barrel-aged stout, the breweries here cover the full range of British and Irish beer. We keep the listings honest and up to date, adding new breweries by hand as they join festivals across the UK and Ireland.

This is a guide first and a directory second. The breweries that earn a place in our featured row do so through real activity. Appearing at festivals, drawing a crowd, or joining the platform, and anything paid is always labelled plainly.

Good to know

Breweries, answered

Search by brewery name or town in the box at the top of this page, or browse by region just below the featured breweries. Each region opens the local listing so you can see who brews where, then follow any brewery through to the festivals they are pouring at.

Festivals are the heart of Beer Fest Buddy, and breweries are who make them worth going to. Every brewery page links to the festivals it attends, and every festival lists the breweries pouring. Start with a brewery you love and we will show you where to drink it next.

A brewery page carries the basics. Location, the beer styles they are known for, links to their own site and socials, plus the upcoming festivals where you can find their bar. Where a brewery has added them, you will also see a banner, logo and a short story.

Many breweries are already listed through the festivals they attend. If yours is not here, or you want to manage how it looks, you can list a new brewery or claim an existing one in a couple of minutes. It is free to be listed.
