Nottingham Craft Beer festival 2023 set to be even bigger and better
Nottingham Craft Beer Festival will return to Sneinton Market Avenues for it’s fifth year with some major changes to the site
One of Nottingham’s favourite craft beer festivals will return to Sneinton Market Avenues on Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17. The Nottingham Craft Beer festival showcases some of the finest craft beer produced locally, nationally and further afield with over 30 breweries in attendance.
Over 4000 beer fans are expected at the beer festival this year and there will be over 300 different beers to sample. The newly opened Bustler Market will also be joining in the fun this year as the site is being incorporated into the festival. This will give the event more space, street food and the all-important covering if the weather starts to get a little wet.
Bustler is known for running major food and drink events in Derby and has become one of the best spots to sample new street food in Nottingham since it opened in October 2022. The Nottingham Craft Beer Festival team are working with them to produce an array of food vendors along with special guest beer lines.
There will also be live music and DJs performing over the two-day event thanks to local promoters, I’m Not From London and their Wire and Wool imprint.
Some of the breweries confirmed for this year include Amity Brew Co, Bang the Elephant, Black Iris, Brew Cavern, Emperors, El Segundo (US), Liquid Light, Magpie Brewery and Modestman (US). There will also be an appearance from Navigation Brewery, Neon Raptor, North Brewing, Northern Monk and Saint Mars of the Desert among many others.
Festival Organiser Al Gilby said “Nottingham Craft Beer Festival isn’t just for those with a craft beer obsession. Our festival is an opportunity to enjoy a unique location in a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. You’ll also get a lovely festival glass to take home afterwards and a paper bag at the exit to increase your chances of getting it home in one piece.”
“The addition of Bustler’s venue will also add a quality selection of specially selected cocktails, ciders, wines and non-beer drinks for those that are attending for the vibes rather than just the beers. Please try some beers though; you’ll never get a better chance to find out that you like an unusual beer style you’ve never heard of before.”
