BrewLDN 2021 announce new July dates at Printworks and fresh wave of Breweries

Brew//LDN, the UK’s biggest craft beer festival has announced new July dates for its welcome return this summer. Following Boris Johnson’s roadmap announcement the festival will now run later in the year from  Thursday 29th July to  Saturday 31st July . The improved and expanded festival will take over London’s iconic Printworks with 250 exhibitor stands, 150 independent breweries, a vast outdoor street food arena and more than 1000 different beers.

Why are we moving Brew//LDN 2021? “As it stands, the government aims to introduce controlled indoor events from 17th May: ‘Events of up to 1,000 people or 50% of a venue’s capacity, whichever is lower, will be permitted.’ Given the capacity of Brew//LDN exceeds 1,000 people, we’re in the unfortunate position of having to postpone to a date post 21st June, when the government aims to introduce ‘no legal limits on social contact’.

For the overall event experience, we always wanted to stage Brew//LDN 2021 with the full social experience, including hugging, kissing, live music, dancing and meeting new people and this date change allows for that possibility. Rest assured we’ll continue to keep an eye on developments and will maintain the ability to implement any safety measures required.”  Toby Chantrell, BrewLDN Co Founder.

Brew//LDN 2021 will make use of  Printworks ’ vast  Press Halls space as well as the indoor and outdoor  Container Yard areas packed with beers, bites, brew talks and more. The three day event includes four public sessions and two trade sessions with the 250 exhibitor stands showcasing  150 independent breweries and 1000 different beers; there will be capacity for over 10,000 attendees across the three days.

Brewery additions include  Signature, Harbour, Innis & Gunn, ABYSS, Yonder Brewing and Blending, Glen Affric and  Cassels who join  Five Points, Tiny Rebel, Brewpoint, Toast, Black Storm, Don Valley Brewery, Flowerhorn, Vocation, Trinity Brew Co., Full Circle, Firebrand, Laine Brew Co. Heist Brew Co, UnBarred Brewery, Hofmeister Brewing Company, Phantom Brewing Co., Mad Squirrel, SXOLLIE Cider and  Pulpt Cider amongst others.

New for 2021, Brew//LDN will have a huge outdoor food arena for the first time offering a wealth of street food traders plus an outdoor beer terrace for (hopefully!) sunshine drinking this July. Previous years’ food treats have included La Nonna, Brigadiers, Claw, Biff’s Jack Shack, Kolkati and Eat Chay so expect more of the UK’s finest food traders for this edition. The full DJ lineup will be revealed in April but for now Demi Riquisimo, RAW SILK and  Bill Brewster will be laying down the vibes.

Tickets for BrewLDN 2021 are on sale now at brewldn.com and start at £13.50 (inc. booking fee). Tickets include a BrewLDN festival glass and festival magazine.

Brew//LDN’s Covid-19 policy and regulations will be updated regularly in line with developing UK Government guidelines, but careful thought has gone into making these events as safe and atmospheric as possible for all in attendance. It’s hoped that Boris Johnson’s roadmap announcement means Brew//LDN 2021 will be able to operate without social distancing but organisers are also fully prepared to operate the festival with social distancing in place should that be required. The extra space at Printworks allows for that scenario comfortably while maintaining the high quality Brew//LDN experience that customers are accustomed to. Expect additional space, transport options and availability of outdoor and indoor seating so customers can really relax and discover fine brews, whatever the regulations in July 2021.
