Send us photosThe Gravity Beer Festival is an all‑inclusive craft beer celebration held at Summerhall in Edinburgh, organised by the team behind Barney’s Beer. With 14–15 top independent UK breweries and a cider maker, tickets include unlimited samples—no tokens needed—served in a branded glass.
More than just a beer fest, it merges the worlds of craft brewing and culture, taking place in Summerhall’s historic Dissection Room with creative partnerships through Summerhall Arts. Expect a showcase of experimental pours and festival-exclusive beers, meet-the-brewers interaction, exclusive talks and tastings, all in a stylish city-centre venue.
In short: A boutique, culture‑led beer experience in the heart of Edinburgh—celebrating innovation, community, and independent brewing—all wrapped into a weekend of inclusive, easy‑drinking fun.
