Join us for Manchester Craft Brew Festival on Saturday 24 July 2027 at Manchester Academy

Boring beer festivals? Not on our watch. We’ve taken the beer festival rulebook, set it on fire and launched it out of a confetti cannon. Craft Brew Festival isn’t like any other beer festival - it’s five hours of full-throttle, all-in, party-mode madness with bottomless craft beer, cider, wine, non-alcoholic beer and prosecco. No faff. No overpriced drink tokens. Just pure, unfiltered fun.
