The first ever Bristol Craft Beer Festival (BCBF) will take place on 2nd – 3rd September 2016 at iconic music venue Motion’s recently refurbished The Skate Park, an exciting addition to the annual Bristol Beer Week. The festival comes from the team behind London Craft Beer Festival, one of the UK’s best-known celebrations of independent craft beers and breweries. Teaming up with Bristol Beer Week, which will run from 27th August – 2nd September, and working with local breweries and bars, the festival will be a grand finale to a stellar week of beer in Bristol, showcasing the best of the Bristol craft beer scene and the wider craft beer community.

Taking the lead in demonstrating what puts Bristol at the forefront of the worldwide craft beer scene will be local breweries including Arbor, Wiper & True, Wild Beer Co., Lost & Grounded, Left Handed Giant and Moor, with a full line-up to be announced in the run-up to the festival. Alongside local stars, and in celebration of the spirit of the craft beer community, great brewers from across the country like The Kernel, Beavertown, Magic Rock and Brewdog and international guests from the US and Europe will also join in. Each brewery will be bringing old favourites, new innovations, exciting collaborations and more, with guests able to sample up to 250 of the most exciting and unique craft beers.

A celebration of beer, good times & good food, the festival will also showcase an amazing range of delicious treats & street food inspired favourites, using seasonal ingredients and local suppliers. Living up to Bristol’s reputation as a music loving city, a stellar line up of acts will also be announced with previous performances at London Craft Beer Festival having included the likes of Chase & Status, Ghost Poet, Craig Charles, Artful Dodger, Public Service Broadcasting, The Cuban Brothers and DJ Yoda.

Taking place at Motion’s ‘The Skate Park’, which recently launched with the BBC 6 Music Festival, Bristol Craft Beer Festival is proud to be one of the first food and drink events to take place in the space. The triple height halls will be home to some of the best craft beer, music and food under one roof, making it the place to be come September, and the perfect way to round off Bristol Beer Week.
