“The last 12 years have been an amazing journey,”said founder Jonny Heyes. “We’re proud to have brought something new and different to the craft beer market, way back in 2012. 

“It’s been a huge privilege to witness the UK craft beer scene blossom in front of our eyes, to work with so many fantastic breweries, and witness their creativity, industry, and growth.

“I am humbled that lots of people have taken a great deal of joy and satisfaction from the little event that we’ve spent over a decade putting on. I am beyond chuffed that you chose to spend your time with us deep in the pool at the incredible Victoria Baths.”

He added: “None of it would have been possible without the incredible breweries, the countless volunteers, the wonderful sponsors, the dedicated teams, and even more dedicated attendees that rallied around the festival, year in and year out. You helped build something beautiful down at the deep end.”
