MAIDENHEAD BEER FESTIVAL - ONLINE

Friday 26 – Saturday 27 March 2021

Maidenhead Beer Festival Online - March 26th / 27th.

Last Chance to Grab a Box, so act fast to avoid disappointment!

Tickets are available through A Hoppy Place: ORDER HERE

As you all know, the earliest date pubs will be open, restriction free, is 21st June.

But, you don’t have to wait until then to have a beer with friends. With our Beer Festival on the 26th and 27th March, you can do so from the comfort of your own lounge!

With less than one week of ticket sales remaining and nearly all boxes sold, we can now announce some of the breweries in the box, to tempt you to grabbing one of the last boxes and joining us for what will be an excellent weekend. Enjoy a 2-day virtual beer festival hosted by the SWM CAMRA Branch, on 26th and 27th March, between 7:30pm and 10:30pm.

Sample 14 different bottled and canned beers, across 2 evenings of beer-based talks and live entertainment – all fully interactive via Zoom.

Hosted by your local CAMRA Branch in association with the Branch’s first Micropub, ‘A Hoppy Place’ and our wonderful local pubs and breweries.

£34.95 per night (including 7 beers and a snack) or £64.95 for the weekend pass (including 14 beers and two snacks). Nationwide delivery free of charge.

Expect beers from the likes of Stardust, Windsor and Eton, Double Barrelled, Burning Sky, Fallen Acorn, Utopian, Brew York and many more besides, from a wide array of styles and strengths.

On Friday, join us for our pub quiz with 32 points up for grabs and prizes to be won plus meet the brewer with Stardust, beer tasting and judging chat, and more.

On Saturday, join our live panel of local publicans talking about lockdown, their plans for the future, and given they’d have been drinking for a while, who knows what else! Plus, live music!

Can’t decide? Then you’ll have to take our weekender pass and join us for both!

Hope to see you for what should be an exciting Agenda.

Profits will be donated to our official festival charity, 'FoodShare'.

Supporting local and national independent breweries, pubs, and the community.
