A new event, the Alcohol Free Beer Weekender, a three-day celebration of the best alcohol-free craft beer, is coming to London this month.
The event will take over Beer + Burger Store, King’s Cross, London, from 23rd-25th January. It will feature the largest number of alcohol-free beers ever poured on tap at a single UK venue.
Across the weekend, at least 10 taps will be pouring alcohol-free beer, alongside an extensive selection of alcohol-free beers in bottle and can from leading British and European craft breweries.
The event is designed not as a ‘dry’ or alcohol-free festival, but as a modern hospitality experience where alcohol-free beer takes its place naturally alongside alcoholic options — the way many drinkers now choose to enjoy a day or night out.
The event is the brainchild of Martin Dixon (Alcohol Free World) and Ben Gibbs (Sober Boozers Club), two of the UK’s leading voices championing the positive role of alcohol-free beer in modern drinking culture.

“Alcohol-free beer has really taken off big time over the last few years, and we’ve been very happy to stock some of the best the AF world has to offer in that time,” said Nick Upshall, of Beer + Burger Store. “Now we’re collating them into a great weekender, with the help of Ben and Martin.
“We’re very excited to welcome them for two insightful tasting sessions on the 24th, which will feature some of our favourite AF breweries alongside some exciting and new ones — even to us!”
General entry will be free. Tickets for private table tasting sessions can be purchased here.
