It is a place to whet your whistle with the world’s best breweries’ newest brews.

For that reason, CBR is the UK’s biggest and best loved craft ale festival with more than 12,000 visitors expected in 2019.

Exhibitors include favourites like Brewdog, homegrown UK stars like London Fields Brewery, Mondo, Tiny Rebel and Fourpure, international flavours from Brooklyn Brewery and Goose Island, next generation talents like Lost and Grounded and Bianca Road and the exciting all-female brewery Mothership, who will be launching and exhibiting their first brews at this year’s event.

The ever-growing low alcohol sector is also fully represented with game changers Big Drop and Infinite Sessions.

In order to keep guests well fuelled and energised, mouth-watering food is on offer from a selection of London’s best street food traders.

Popular from last year, returning favourites include Kolkati with their knock-out hot kati rolls and Prairie Fire BBQ, London’s only traditional Kansas City BBQ.

A selection of beer snack outfits will also be in the food hall with The Curators selling a range of mouth-watering jerky and Serious Pig offering classics like snacking salami and oven-roast pork crackling.

A new Beer Hall layout will also ensure getting around and getting served has never been easier and new seating areas offer you a place to sit down and let everything soak in, including the beer.

All of this ensures that this is set to be the biggest and best Craft Beer Rising Festival to date.

Tickets are on sale and will sell out in advance, so head without delay to the official website.
