It’s never just ‘one beer’, is it? Try as I might, one becomes two, two becomes four, and before I know it, I’ve spent the week’s shopping budget down the pub. It’s only worse during the Christmas holidays, which is why this money-saving, bottomless beer festival has some at the right time!

The UK’s touring craft beer festival, Craft Brew Festival, will bring its full-throttle party back to Birmingham this winter for ‘A Hoppy Christmas Party’. The all-out festive extravaganza is packed with more classic Christmas tunes and craft drinks than ever, as it rips up the beer festival rulebook for a one-day party like no other.

“Birmingham feels really like the flagship Craft Brew festival,” said Simon Robinson, Craft Brew Festival co-founder. “This was one of the first cities we launched in, and every time we increase the event size, it seems to sell out! The vibe is always amazing with everyone up for a big party while keeping things so friendly and welcoming – everyone involved in creating Craft Brew Festival absolutely loves our Birmingham parties.”

Launched in 2023, the independent touring festival has designed ‘A Hoppy Christmas Party’ to be a fun-filled, festive get-together for everyone. With a one-time entry fee (from £50)—opening up over 50 bottomless craft beers, cider, wine, mulled wine, prosecco and more—it’s the ideal spot for your Christmas catch-up with mates or the perfect venue for the office do.

Heading to Secret Space in Digbeth on December 6 (1 pm – 6 pm), Craft Brew Festival’s carefully curated line-up will feature over 15 of the UK’s most exciting independent breweries and drinks producers, alongside a Christmas party band, festive acoustic sets, meet the brewer sessions and a sackful of giveaways and surprises for a non-stop five-hour party.

Simon added, “We can’t wait to unwrap all the festive fun we’ve got planned for A Hoppy Christmas Party this year, with more breweries, cideries and wineries bringing more delicious craft drinks with them than ever before. Our summer series of events was a blast and we want to keep the party going right through to Christmas.”
