Update: All Breweries now listing their beers! Updates in Blue, again, things can change, but let the planning begin!

We’re less than a month away from one of the best events of the year. 2 days, 70+ Breweries, 200+ Beers, and just an all around great time.

Below is the list of beers being served at this year’s event, compiled from their website. I will update it to reflect any changes I see, and to fill in the TBDs.

This list is always subject to change, and always realise that nothing is guaranteed, and can vary from day to day. Breweries listing a single cask may only have it available for one day.

Keep an eye out, as I’ll have my list of recommended beers up soon.
