UK’s longest running Craft Beer Festival returns this Summer

The longest running Craft Beer Festival, Craft Beer Expo, is back at Black Lodge Brewery in Liverpool’s vibrant Baltic Triangle from May 29th to 31st.

As the longest-running craft beer festival in the UK, the event continues to be a highlight of the national beer calendar, bringing together over 30 top breweries and pouring hundreds of different beers across three days.

UK’s longest running Craft Beer Festival returns this Summer

As well as national and international breweries, there will be several popular local breweries including the likes of Black Lodge, Neptune and new brewery Colbier, amongst others.

Alongside the main attraction at the Craft Beer Expo, is an array of food traders offering burgers and pizzas alongside Mexican, Indian and Chinese street food.

To accompany the festival, there will be Live Music from local musician Harry James, and a programme of DJs throughout, curated by the incredible Matsuri Records.

Paul Seiffert, event curator and co-founder of Black Lodge Brewery, says:

“We kicked this off in 2013, and it’s amazing to see how it’s grown while still keeping that friendly, down-to-earth vibe. We’ve always aimed to make the Expo feel like a proper festival—welcoming both the craft beer faithful and total newcomers. You get to meet the people behind the beer, explore all kinds of styles, and just enjoy a really good time. And if beer’s not your thing, we’ve got cider, gin, and cocktails covered too.”

Event dates and prices:

Thursday 29th May Evening Session (17:00-23:00) – £13.50
Friday 30th May Evening Session (17:00-23:00) – £15.00
Saturday 31st May Afternoon Session (12:00-17:00) – £15.00
Saturday 31st May Evening Session (18:00-23:00) – £15.00

Ticket includes entry to the festival, a first beer, souvenir glass and event map.

Tickets for The Liverpool Craft Beer Expo are now on sale and can be purchased here.
