The organisers of major craft beer festival Brew//LDN have announced new July dates for its return this summer.
Following Boris Johnson’s roadmap announcement, the festival will now run later in the year, from Thursday, 29th July, to Saturday, 31st July. The improved and expanded festival will take over London’s iconic Printworks with 250 exhibitor stands, 150 independent breweries, a vast outdoor street food arena, and more than 1,000 beers.
Festival co-founder, Toby Chantrell, said: “As it stands, the government aims to introduce controlled indoor events from 17th May: ‘Events of up to 1,000 people or 50% of a venue’s capacity, whichever is lower, will be permitted.’
“Given the capacity of Brew//LDN exceeds 1,000 people, we’re in the unfortunate position of having to postpone to a date post 21st June, when the government aims to introduce ‘no legal limits on social contact’.
“For the overall event experience, we always wanted to stage Brew//LDN 2021 with the full social experience, including hugging, kissing, live music, dancing, and meeting new people, and this date change allows for that possibility. Rest assured we’ll continue to keep an eye on developments and will maintain the ability to implement any safety measures required.”
Brewery additions include Signature, Harbour, Innis & Gunn, ABYSS, Yonder Brewing and Blending, Glen Affric, and Cassels, who join Five Points, Tiny Rebel, Brewpoint, Toast, Black Storm, Don Valley Brewery, Flowerhorn, Vocation, Trinity Brew Co, Full Circle, Firebrand, Laine Brew Co, Heist Brew Co, UnBarred Brewery, Hofmeister Brewing Company, Phantom Brewing Co, Mad Squirrel, SXOLLIE Cider, and Pulpt Cider, among others.
