Craft Beer Rising has a mission: ‘To take great beer to the masses’.
This year’s CBR features a mix of cask, kegged, canned and bottled beer all under one roof at the Old Truman Brewery in London. There will be over 150 breweries from the UK and beyond as well as talks, beer tastings and live music.
CBR16 is moving into the main hall of the Old Truman Brewery and has doubled capacity with space for 8000 in total and 2000 per session. The event is run over two days, including a trade session and three consumer sessions. There will also been an invite-only ‘beer buyers’ session on Friday 26th February, before the session is opened up to the wider trade and then later the public sessions on Friday evening and Saturday.
You can buy tickets here.
SIBA is the official partner of CBR16 and Mike Benner, SIBA’s Managing Director had this to say on the partnership:
“SIBA is very excited to be the Official Partner of CBR London 2016. Our view of where British beer is headed is perfectly aligned, with both SIBA and CBR showing a commitment to showcasing and promoting the very best in British brewing regardless of format. Whether it’s in a bottle, a can, cask or keg, we believe there is some of the best beer in the world being brewed in the UK right now.”
