With more than 60 events across 30 venues in ten days, the inaugural Brighton and Hove Beer Week — from August 24 to September 2 — is nearly here.

The event features tours, tastings, tap takeovers, brewery open days, food, music and exclusive festival brews.

On the opening night alone, three exclusive brews — the result of collaborations with Dark Star, UnBarred and Kiln breweries — will be launched at the North Laine Brewhouse, and both Franklins and Brighton Bier will unveil new beers.

On the same night there will also be tap takeovers from award-winning breweries Siren and Northern Monk, and a unique, sky-high beer tasting in the British Airways i360, hosted by Harvey’s Brewery.

Throughout the week, events will include music and beer pairing nights at The Brunswick, a live brew by Franklins at Bagelman, and a street food and craft beer night at the city’s only micropub, The Watchmaker’s Arms.

Sussex brewery, Burning Sky, will host its fifth anniversary celebration at The Prince Albert, and eight local breweries will get together to host a beer festival on Brighton’s Palace Pier.

Brighton and Hove Beer Week founder, beer writer and broadcaster Emma Inch, said: “I’m absolutely astounded by the range and quality of events that are on offer during this, the very first Brighton and Hove Beer Week.

“I’ve been so impressed by the creativity and spirit of collaboration that has been shown by the venues and the breweries, who have all worked so hard together to make this such a landmark event. It will showcase exactly what it is about Brighton and Hove that makes it such a special place to enjoy great beer!”
