We’ll be pouring 25+ beers & ciders, all from outstanding regional breweries and cider makers. Expect everything from crisp session bitters and bold IPAs to traditional scrumpy and modern fruit ciders.

Fuelled by some fantastic street food and Award-winning burgers from Burger Shop.

Alongside the drinks and food, there’ll be live music throughout the weekend, creating a proper festival atmosphere in the heart of The Docks in Gloucester.
