The Edinburgh craft Beer Festival is set to return to the Capital this summer

The 2021 festival – running Friday, August 20 and Saturday, August 21, at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange – will host over 30 world-class breweries with hundreds of delicious beers from across Europe, including Alpha Delta, Attic Brew Co, Cromarty and Pilot.

Greg Wells, co-founder of We Are Beer, the festival organisers said: “We Are Beer are delighted to bring our big celebration of all things beer, food and music back to Edinburgh at the brilliant Corn Exchange.

"We cannot wait to welcome back our Edinburgh festival regulars and meet our new attendees to come together once again to enjoy the best drinks and food around.

"I’m also thrilled to add new breweries to our festival family this year, including local brewery Newbarns, who launched in Leith last year, from across the water, Maltgarden from Poland and Seven Island Brewery from Greece.”

Alongside the drinks, a tasty selection of Edinburgh's top foodies will be offering their mouth-watering dishes, including Fat Flamingo, Harajuku Kitchen and Rost.

Acts performing at the festival include Friendly Fires, Fat Whire Family and Doves featuring Jez Williams.

More breweries, food vendors and music acts will be announced over the coming weeks on social media.

You can buy tickets for £49.50 here, and have the option to choose between sessions on the opening night, just the Saturday, or the full weekend.
