Beer Festival
Braintree Real Ale Festival
Thu 5 - Sun 8 June 2025
Since June 2005 the Lions Club of Braintree, in association with North-West Essex CAMRA, has been organising a Real Ale Festival in Braintree. Our original plan was to help promote real ale in Braintree, but also to highlight that there were breweries in Essex. In 2005 there were approximately 3 Essex Breweries, for our Festival we had 30+ Essex-based breweries to choose from. And over the last 17 years we have raised around £85,000 for local charities.
