More Info on the events:
Over 16,000 consumers, 6000 trade and industry, 150 exhibiting breweries, 25 industry suppliers, and buyers for 70% of the good beer market will descend on this corner of South East London for 4 days of all things beer this July.
The festival now encompasses much more than the very best in domestic craft. Highlights include international beer giants such Budvar, Sierran Nevada, Paulaner and Duvel Mortgaat, alongside over 25 American breweries, including the much anticipated Brewers Association of America bar. On a domestic level, the fastest growing UK craft beer brands, like Deya, Verdant, Northern Monk and Vault City, will pour beers next to icons of British brewing tradition like Timothy Taylor and St Austell.
Beyond world class beer, visitors can enjoy over 12 restaurant kitchens, 20 non-beer bars including whisk(e)y, rum, cocktails, DJs, bands, crazy golf, shuffle board and more.
Preceding the festival will be the inaugural We Are Beer Industry Expo & Conference (16-17 July 2025, Magazine London). This landmark event will bring together industry leaders to chart the future of the UK beer sector. From evolving business models, through marketing strategies, to innovation, the conference will dive into how good continues to grow in scale and profitability.
Highlights include keynotes and contributions from Mitchells & Butlers, Sierra Nevada, Harvey’s Brewery, Arlington Capital Advisors, Five Points, Left Handed Giant, Seedlip, Untappd as well as report launches on Gen Z drinkers by We Are Beer, the future of good beer in groceries by Ben Penrose (Striqe) and benchmarking business performance by leading consultant, ex-CEO Camden Town and Northern Monk Breweries, Luca Lorenzoni.
By bringing together We Are Beer Industry Expo & Conference and London Craft Beer Festival, this will form Europe’s most significant week for beer professionals. Surrounding these flagship events will be We Are Beer Top 50 UK Beer Awards as well as the city-wide, multi venue, LCBF ‘25 Fringe Festival, with over 30 pubs, bars, taprooms and restaurants taking part.
Greg Wells, Co-Founder of We Are Beer, Comments:
“Beer in the UK is a £20bn Industry. It needs an event to match not only its status, but its dynamism and the contribution it makes to culture too. We’re really proud that London Craft Beer is now the biggest beer event in the country and augmenting it with our Industry Expo will add so much value to all the people and businesses in attendance. ”
