The Great British Beer Festival: 5th-9th August 2025, NEC Birmingham
The Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA)’s flagship beer festival is returning in 2025 after a hiatus this year, and for the first time since 1983, it will take place in the West Midlands.
The Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) will land at Birmingham NEC on August 5th next year, and run for five days. Visitors will be able to taste a huge range of beer, cider, and perry, along with plenty of food (there are always decent pies to be found at GBBF). Tickets are £9.50 and include a souvenir tasting glass.
BarLifeUK have attended the GBBF several times, it’s always good fun and we generally walk away with a new favourite beer or cider from an obscure independent producer, and next year the festival has partnered with a range of brewers from America who are bringing their brews to the UK for the first time.
