Summer Beer Thing heads to Kampus for three-day festival

A three-day festival dedicated to all things beer will take over the city centre Kampus neighbourhood this summer.

Summer Beer Thing, organised by the teams behind prolific beer bars Port Street Beer House, Common and The Beagle, will bring brewers from across the country down to the waterside location to showcase their latest brews.

The sister festival to the highly-regarded Indy Man Beer Con festival, now in its tenth year, beer lovers can expect to find a range of different beer styles on offer from various brewers.

This year, it will head to Kampus with a brand new line up of breweries and food traders, including Nell’s Pizza, Levanter and soon to be Kampus resident operators Madre, Pollen and Great North Pie Co.

A celebration of all that is seasonal, regional, and interesting in the world of beer and beyond,
Summer Beer Thing first began in 2017 at Sadler’s Yard, with over 3,000 people visiting across the weekend each year.

A showcase of different beer styles, the festival has bars dedicated to hoppy, session, fruit and sour beers and the feel of a party with beer as the focal point with plenty for both experts and beginners in the world of craft ale.
