CBR 17 London

CBR London 2017, the beer, music and street food festival, returns to The Old Truman Brewery for its fifth year, showcasing the very best craft beer brews and ciders over 23 - 25 February on London’s Brick Lane EC1.

CBR London 2017 is now recognised as the launch pad event in the UK’s beer calendar for new and exciting brews. It is the place for beer fans to head for the latest product launches, new recipes and innovations in the brewing world. All that, and the rare chance to meet the faces behind the brands in what has now become one of Europe’s largest and most influential beer festivals.

As ever year on year, they try to make improvements based on consumer and trade demand and this year is no exception. They will be adding another room to the event that will focus on emerging breweries and those who are right at the beginning of their life cycle in the brewing world.

There will be approximately 170 breweries and producers represented at the show with the capacity up to 2,000 people per session.

The introduction of paying bars last year will remain (with prices much lower than pub prices!) and customers will still have the option of taking their favorite beers home, thanks to a take out license and personalised growlers.

As well as plenty of chance to sample the finest beers and ciders, there will another cracking line up of music, with revered producer and DJ / AV specialist DJ Yoda taking the main stage on Saturday night’s session.

The very best street food vendors will also be on hand to inspire some food matching and cater for both meat lovers and vegetarians alike.

Talks and tastings are all included again, providing the shows intellectual backbone, with some not to be missed panel debates from some of the most revered industry insiders, including Melissa Cole and Pete Brown.
