Set across the vibrant Garret Bar and Theatre, this year’s Expo promises a stellar line up, celebrating the best of craft beer. We’ll be featuring some of the UK’s most-loved breweries and a special guest brewery from Europe, showcasing everything from fan favourites to bold new, boundary-pushing beers. We’re also bringing an even bigger selection of fine cider into the mix too.

Interactive Sessions: Discover the stories behind the drinks, meet the makers, and take part in Q&A sessions at our dedicated “Speakers’ Corner.”
