St George's Hall Beer Festival

From the organisers:

"We will be championing local breweries and their latest ales alongside a cherry-picked selection of beers from across the UK. We strive to bring you the very best of the British beer scene, and hopefully something you've yet to try! We will have a huge array of every type of cask ale under the sun. There'll be something for everyone, so no matter whether it's your first time at a festival or you're a seasoned pro - you won't be disappointed.

What helps makes this festival really special is the huge variety of drinks on offer in such a stunning setting - situated in the Great Hall located in Liverpool city centre, opposite Lime Street train station. If you’ve never been, you are in for a real treat. It's truly an awe-inspiring building and the perfect venue to sit back with a beer in hand and soak up the atmosphere.

There will an alternative drinks bar featuring local and more exotic gins, wines, prosecco and other tipples.

All real ales and boxed ciders are £2!

Music is provided by local musician Vesper in one corner of the hall on Friday evening, Saturday daytime and Saturday evening. Her genre is soul, modern and throwbacks, and what a voice she has! We’re sure she’ll help provide the perfect backdrop to your time with us.

If music isn't your thing and chatting with pals is your priority then you are free to move around the hall, to one of our quiet rooms or perhaps the Friday afternoon 'No Music' session is for you. The hall is big enough to cater for everyone!

***PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of beer festivals and ever-changing tastes we are unable to predict the popularity of the beers before the event. The most popular individual casks will run out as the festival progresses. Our Beer Co-Ordinator monitors this at each event and orders accordingly - but because we also like to have a lot of new beers it is nigh on impossible for us to tell which will run out first! We oversupply on beer as a whole by 20% at all of our festivals which means there's a hefty amount to pour away at the end - and we hate waste! We apologise if you have ever been disappointed by a beer running out, but there is still always ample amounts of real ale to drink throughout the festival!

Please bear this information in mind when selecting a session.

No Under 18s are permitted into the event - If you are lucky enough to look under the age of 25 you will be asked for ID at the door. No refunds will be given to anyone unable to prove their age when asked.
