Portsmouth Beer Festival

We are thrilled to announce our favourite festive event the Portsmouth Beer Festival will return on the 16th & 17th December.

The Christmas edition of the beer festival will be brimming with festive cheer and of course, plenty of beer. There will be over 100 cask ales available to tickle your taste buds and ensure you’re pint is forever flowing with seasonal spirit. There will also be a cider bar serving a selection of cider including mulled cider for those after a winter warmer.

Each session will have music to get merry to! Friday night Chic & Nile Rodgers tribute Le Freak will perform to get the festive feelings flowing, Saturday Day will see soul sisters The Fliks headline and favourite tribute act Fleetingwood Mac will play the final set on Saturday evening. There will also be lots of local acts making merry music throughout.

Chosen charity The Thunder Foundation will be at the beer festival raising funds with fun giant sized pub games. The Thunder foundation aids children in Kenya with education and has already made great advances for local children with the impressive addition of a school offering free education, uniforms, health cover and food for its students. You will be able to find the perfect pairing for your pint in our food area. There will be vegetarian options available.

A celebration of great beers and excellent entertainment, it’s a seasonal must! Perfect for any parties - if you consider yourself a craft beer connoisseur, just enjoy a good pint, want to celebrate your Christmas party or fancy finding a favourite beer come along to the Portsmouth Beer Festival!
