Don't miss the Brandon Hill Beer Festival kicking off this Friday 5th October!
Posted on: 04 Oct 2018Two words: Beer Festival. Bristol hop heads should be paying special attention to this one: the Brandon Hill Beer Festival is upon us, with several breweries from around the world set to showcase their finest creations at a selection of Bristol pubs for three full days from Friday 5th October-Sunday 7th. Pubs involved so far are The Bag of Nails, The Lime Kiln, The Hope & Anchor and The Three Tuns. Scroll down for more info!
With proceedings kicking off at midday on Friday and carrying on until Sunday evening, you've got plenty of time to sample some of the brilliant beers on offer, and the cast assembled by the festival's organisers is pretty special. On cask, representatives from Anspach & Hobday, Vibrant Forest, Dancing Man, Bad Seed, Gun, Intrepid, Beatnikz Republic, Great Heck, Black Iris, Crouch Vale, Eight Arch and Dark Revolution will be on hand to provide you with their best offerings, while Oedipus of Holland, Belgian Boon, Rogue from America and Mikkeller representing Denmark will be available on Keg.
