Thank you to everyone who attended the inaugural festival in Feb, we were overwhelmed by the response and hope we put on a great show.

Following the successful launch we are already planning 2014, venue is booked and we are working on making it bigger & better.

If you can't wait that long we will be making many appearances at food & drink events during the year, please check calendar for details.

OUR REASON FOR BEING

Craft beer is on the rise. A younger, more discerning consumer is turning to the category and a plethora of new brands are being created or imported to appeal to them. Established domestic brewers are changing their strategies, reverting back to craft, focusing on heritage and communicating production processes and ingredients. With 7.8 million craft beer drinkers in the UK it is now the perfect time to launch a Festival for them.

Set in the grounds of the Old Truman Brewery in East London's Brick Lane, we are a trade show and consumer craft beer festival that showcases the World's greatest brews. Then imagine an awesome line-up of bands and DJ's to accompany the merriment, throw in some of the capital's best street food vendors and you've got Craft Beer Rising, the question now is can you afford not to be there!

WHY EXHIBIT?

We understand that any marketing budget has to be justified, and the amount that you spend has to work hard to drive additional business and incremental sales. Our aim is to make Craft Beer Rising a cost neutral experience, and a must do part of all beer seller's marketing plan.

The Friday will be open to your trade customers both current and potential. We will be inviting the nation's on-trade beer buyers from small independent operators to national pub and bar chains. We will also be inviting buyers from all independent off-licenses, and key buyers from national multiples and the growing number of licensed cafes and deli's owners.
