The Glasladies Beer Society has released the full brewery line-up for the 2025 Beer is for Everyone festival, to be held on 1st November.
The line-up features a number of independent breweries and drinks specialists, including a mix of local Glasgow favourites like Simple Things Fermentations, Overtone Brewing, and Dookit Brewing Co. Also present will be Scottish sour specialists Vault City, and Five Kingdoms Brewery from Galloway.
Joining the line-up are first-time attendees from England, Hand Brew Co and The Runaway Brewery, with Kerroo Brewing Co representing the Isle of Man. The full vendor line-up is here.
The festival has moved to a new venue, the Queen Margaret Union (QMU) in the West End. In-keeping with the core tenet of inclusivity, the event is fully accessible, family-friendly, and dog-friendly.
Last year, two additional features were introduced: best festival beer and best festival dog. Attendees will once again be able cast their votes to choose this year’s winners.
Additionally, festival-goers will be able to sign up to two workshops during the festival that will be led by beer writer Laura Hadland. Both workshops are free to join, thanks to sponsor Crisp Malt, and those interested can register on the day.
Tickets are priced at £12 in advance, £14 at the door, and include admission and a festival glass. Child (under-18) tickets are a donation of £1. Festival tickets are on sale here.
The festival will raise funds for Shelter Scotland and Glasgow Women’s Library. Since the group’s formation in 2019, it has raised upward of £8,000 for various local and national charities.
“We’re incredibly grateful to all our sponsors and attendees for their generosity and support,” said group admin Jennifer. “The contributions make a real difference, and it’s heartening to see our community come together for such great causes.
“Fundraising is at the heart of what we do, and this festival is a perfect example of how we can have fun while making a positive impact.”
