Alcohol Free Beer Weekender brings the UK’s largest-ever line-up of alcohol-free beers on tap to London

Beer + Burger Store King’s Cross, 1 York Way, London N1C 4AS | 23–25 January 2026

A new landmark event for alcohol-free beer is coming to London this January. Alcohol Free Beer Weekender, a three-day celebration of the best alcohol-free craft beer, will take over Beer + Burger Store King’s Cross (1 York Way, London N1C 4AS) from Friday 23 January to Sunday 25 January 2026, featuring the largest number of

alcohol-free beers ever poured on tap at a single UK venue.

Across the weekend, at least 10 taps will be pouring alcohol-free beer, alongside an extensive selection of standout alcohol-free beers in bottle and can from leading British and European craft breweries. The event is designed not as a “dry” or alcohol-free festival, but as a modern hospitality experience where alcohol-free beer takes its place naturally alongside alcoholic options — the way many drinkers now choose to enjoy a day or night out.

The event is the brainchild of Martin Dixon (Alcohol Free World) and Ben Gibbs (Sober Boozers Club), two of the UK’s leading voices championing the positive role of alcohol-free beer in modern drinking culture. Working with the team at Beer + Burger Store, the AF Beer Weekender became a reality.

Confirmed breweries include:Track Brewing Co, Verdant, Northern Monk, Nirvana Brewery, We Can Be Friends, Cloudwater Brew Co, Queer Brewing, Jump Ship Brewing, Kirkstall Brewery, Only With Love, Mash Gang, Vault City Brewing, Browar Sady, Below Brew Co, Wiper and True, Lucky Saint, Gravity Well, Omnipollo, Lervig, Lost Pier Brewing, and many more.

“Alcohol-free beer has really taken off big-time over the last few years and we’ve been very happy to stock some of the best the AF world has to offer in that time – now we’re collating them into a great Weekender with the help of Ben and Martin.We’re very excited to welcome them for two insightful tasting sessions on the 24th which will feature some of our favourite AF breweries alongside some exciting and new ones – even to us!”

Nick Upshall, Beer + Burger Store

Beer + Burger Store’s founders see the event as a natural evolution of how people drink today.

“We wanted 2026 to be a year where we dialled up our commitment to AF beers. The quality and range of AF beers is unrecognisable now compared to when we opened our first Beer + Burger Store almost a decade ago.We connected with Ben and Martin last year and started talking about teaming up on an event to celebrate the best-in-class AF beers at our King’s Cross store. We can’t wait to welcome them and lots of other AF beer fans later this month.”Jonathan Perritt, Founder, Beer + Burger Store

On Saturday 24 January, Dixon and Gibbs — both award-winning beer writers — will also host two ticketed, table-based tasting sessions, offering a fun and interactive introduction to alcohol-free beer. These guided tastings will explore flavour, brewing techniques, and the stories behind some of the standout beers being poured throughout the weekend.

“I am thrilled to be putting together what I know to be the best selection of alcohol-free craft beer ever served in one UK venue. Having 10 different alcohol-free beers pouring on draft in one place just sounds amazing.”

Ben Gibbs, Sober Boozers Club

“This is a celebration of alcohol-free beer, and we’re thrilled to be hosting it in a brilliant London venue with the space to offer such a broad range of beers. This isn’t a sober festival. This is alcohol-free craft beer taking its rightful place alongside the alcoholic versions — and proving that having a great choice of both is exactly how the world should look in 2026.”

Martin Dixon, Alcohol Free World
