More than 20 breweries have been confirmed for Rooster’s Brewing Co’s inaugural invitational beer festival, Suds With Buds, taking place at the brewery on 1st July.
Tickets are now available, with the full line-up of breweries, live music, and street food traders confirmed. The festival will span the entirety of the brewery and yard, taproom, beer garden, and The Sample Room.
The event will feature a unique combined line-up of more than 100 beers, poured by some of the UK’s most respected and talked-about breweries, including Burning Sky, Elusive, Brew York, North, and Siren.
A handful of breweries from the USA complete the line-up, along with Finland’s Brinkhall Cider, which has never been served in the UK before. Odell Brewing Co and Crooked Stave, both from Colorado and with a strong reputation in the UK, will be showcased, alongside beers from Californian breweries Green Cheek and Everywhere, as well as Bale Breaker from Yakima in Washington State.
All five of the US breweries will also be brewing with Rooster’s to produce a collection of beers to form an American Celebration of releases throughout the summer, as part of Rooster’s 30th Anniversary Collaboration Project.
“We’ve wanted to host Suds With Buds ever since we up scaled the brewery and opened the taproom in 2019, so I’m excited that we’re finally in a position to make it happen,” said Tom Fozard, Rooster’s commercial director.
“The list of breweries joining us and the beers they’ll be pouring is, quite frankly, ridiculous, but the quality of the street food traders and calibre of the live music on the day is equally impressive. Hopefully the weather will play its part and the sun will be shining for everyone who joins to enjoy a few suds with their buds on 1st July.”
• Suds With Buds is a ticket-only event, with the taproom being closed to non-festival goers on the day. Early Bird tickets are available via roosters.co.uk until 30th April at a discounted price of £20. In addition to the extensive list of beers, street food, and live music, the price of a ticket includes an exclusive souvenir Suds With Buds glass and event programme.
