Bristol’s biggest pub beer festival returns today!

Posted on: 06 Apr 2023

Beer lovers rejoice! The Llandoger Trow’s free Spring Beer Festival is back throughout this bank holiday weekend - just in time for the sun.

 

Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Fest runs from Thursday 6 until Sunday 9 April 2023.

 

Free to attend and running for four days, the Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Festival will be well stocked with more than 25 cask beers, 25 keg beers and 15 ciders, all sourced from carefully chosen producers from across Bristol and beyond.

 

This is a FREE event, find out more on the Llandoger Trow Facebook page.

 

 

The brewery roster for The Llandoger Trow’s free Spring Beer Festival features a range of Bristol favourites including New Bristol Brewery, Bristol Beer Factory and Arbor; South-West highlights such as Wye Valley Brewery, Exmoor Ales; London buzz breweries Brew By Numbers and much more.

 

Opening way back in 1664, The Llandoger Trow is a truly iconic public house steeped in history, located on Bristol's famous King Street.

 

The pub is said to have been the inspiration for Robert Louis Stephenson's fictional drinking hole the Admiral Benbow Inn in Treasure Island, while Daniel Defoe was supposedly drinking inside the pub when he met Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for legendary fictional castaway Robinson Crusoe.

Having survived damage during the Second World War, the Llandoger remained in good enough condition to be recognised as a Grade II Listed building in the late 1950s. Following a brief closure in 2019, the pub is now under new ownership, reopening in June 2022 with a new first-floor space opened earlier this year.

 

Boasting an enviable outside seating area and a cosy interior, The Llandoger also host regular events. Every Friday and Saturday, the pub takes inspiration from some of Berlin’s best techno clubs and bars to present ‘TECHNO at the Trow’ and also hosts ‘CROTCH’, one of the city’s finest queer club nights.

Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Fest runs from today (Thursday 6) until Sunday 9 April 2023, visit the pub’s Facebook page for more information.
