City Beerfest has become one of the most popular events in the Square Mile\u2019s calendar, bringing together City workers, residents, and visitors, with all profits donated to The Lord Mayor\u2019s Appeal in its aim to create better opportunities for people to work, thrive, and prosper in our vibrant city. More info: The Lord Mayor’s Appeal – City of London<\/a><\/p>\n

Delivered by the City of London Corporation, in partnership with the Worshipful Company of Brewers, this year\u2019s City Beerfest is sponsored by Hempsons\u00a0and Culture Mile BID, with support from City A.M., Central London Alliance, and Cask Marque.<\/p>\n

Chair of the City of London Corporation\u2019s Culture, Heritage, and Libraries Committee, Brendan Barns, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cCultural experiences, a rich heritage offering, and a reputation for warm hospitality have long defined the Square Mile as a destination of choice, which is why events like City Beerfest play such an important role in bringing the City to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow established as one of our most popular events, you\u2019re raising funds for charity while you\u2019re raising your glass… so what better reason do you need to come to this historic Yard of ale and enjoy a few pints, live music and hopefully, some sunshine?\u201d<\/p>\n

Clerk to the Brewers\u2019 Company, Nick Tindal, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Brewers\u2019 Company is delighted that so many of our member breweries are, once again, supporting the City Beerfest to raise money for The Lord Mayor\u2019s Appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 600 years, we have made sure that the people of London have access to great beer, and this event in the heart of the City is a fantastic way to continue this long tradition. I would encourage everyone to come along and sample the wonderful array of beers that will be available.\u201d<\/p>\n
