The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has announced that the 2023 Great British Beer Festival Winter will take place in Burton upon Trent, from 16th-18th February.
As the winter counterpart to CAMRA’s Great British Beer Festival, visitors will find a range of not only dark and winter brews, but light and hoppy ales, too. The event will also host the Champion Winter Beer of Britain competition, the winners of which will feature at the Great British Beer Festival in London next summer.
The winter festival will feature hundreds of cask and craft beers, ciders, perries, and gin at Burton Town Hall, where visitors will also be able to enjoy a range of entertainment and food.
It marks the return of the festival following a two-year hiatus due to Covid restrictions. The festival was last hosted in Birmingham and moves around the country every three years.
CAMRA chair, Nik Antona, said: “We are absolutely delighted to bring the Great British Beer Festival Winter to Burton-on-Trent, the home of so much brewing and beer history.
“The return of the festival is a strong signal to the industry that CAMRA is back in business post-pandemic, and fully committed to delivering its huge portfolio of beer festivals, bringing great beer to every corner of the UK.”
