Welcome to what is now our fourth Beer @ the Barn here in the newly rebranded “The Barn”, a venue we really enjoy working with and putting our festival touch to. Two thousand and seventeen was a progressive year for us adapting to the market and keeping the products we choose for our festivals fresh and high quality. We also built a new brand “OriGINs – The Scottish Gin Festival ” held in Duthie Park last November in partnership with Friends of Anchor and their Masquerade Ball. Following on from this success we are offering a significantly extended selection of gins at this year’s Beer @ the Barn for you to sample and enjoy. We love to hear views from you guys, the customers, so please stop and chat to one of us (orange polos) or get in touch with us via our social media channels. We hope you have a great time here today with us at Beer @ the Barn and most of all we hope you drink responsibly. Mungo, Guy, Eoin & the Banchory Beer Festival Team
