The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales is returning to Kirkstall Brewery, Leeds, from 2nd-4th May and organisers have revealed some of the early brewery confirmations.
Now in its third year, Kirkstall’s celebration of historic beer awards medals to breweries for beer judged to be the best in class by a specially selected panel. There will also be a selection of street food, as well as live music.
“Now in our third year, we’re delighted to continue to bring something unique to the beer scene,” said Chris Hall, Kirkstall’s brand manager and founder of the festival.
“The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales is about celebrating a history of innovation, flavour, and skill that is all-too-often overlooked.”
From Friday to Sunday, the festival takes place at Kirkstall Brewery itself, allowing attendees a glimpse at the impressive collection of brewery memorabilia owned by Kirkstall’s founder Steve Holt.
“Times continue to be tough for our industry,” said Steve. “So we are deeply proud to present the very best of brewing talent in the UK rising to the challenge and delivering another exceptional experience.
“This is the beer festival that brewers tell me they book time off to attend, and frankly there is no higher compliment!”
