Craft Brew Festival has revealed the brewery line-up for its festive celebration, A Hoppy Christmas Party, taking place at Liverpool’s Invisible Wind Factory on Saturday 22 November. Promising more tinsel, classic Christmas tunes and craft drinks than ever before, the event marks the festival’s second visit to the city as it kicks off the holiday season in true Liverpool style.
Dedicated to supporting independent breweries, Craft Brew Festival’s team has handpicked a stellar mix of producers from across the UK and beyond. Among the national names are Siren Craft Brew, Brewdog and Ossett Brewery. They will be joined by Runcorn’s Small Batch Brewing Co. with their celebrated Fruit Salad Waterfall NEIPA, Congleton’s Beartown Brewery, and Polish Craft Beers who will showcase the best of Poland’s independent brewing scene. Making their Liverpool debut, Kerroo Brewing Company will bring their acclaimed micro-brews from the Isle of Man.
Launched in 2023, Craft Brew Festival is on a mission to transform the traditional beer festival experience. A Hoppy Christmas Party offers a festive day out filled with bottomless craft beer tastings, cider, wine, prosecco and mulled wine, all available in half-pints, thirds and tasters. With locally curated street food, live music, Meet the Brewer sessions and a sackful of festive surprises, it promises to be a five-hour Christmas celebration like no other.
Following a sell-out event in July, the festival returns bigger than ever with a renewed focus on Liverpool’s local breweries and artisanal food vendors.
Co-founder Simon Robinson said “We’re beyond excited to bring Craft Brew Festival back to The Invisible Wind Factory for a fourth time! Liverpool will always be one of our favourite places because you always show up for a big party! It feels fantastic to finally share all of the incredible craft breweries we’re bringing together in Liverpool this November, from beloved locals like Small Batch and international friends courtesy of Polish Craft Beers.”
