elcome to the second ever Nottingham Craft Beer Festival. We’ve worked hard this year to get this awesome line-up of breweries and beers together from across the UK and beyond. We hope you’ll agree it’s pretty special. The festival marks the end of Nottingham Craft Beer Week, which has been going a few years longer and is now one of the biggest celebrations of craft beer across the whole UK. For those of you that came to the festival last year; we hope you agree we’ve made a few positive changes, taking on board your feedback. The biggest change is that we‘ve moved from a token system to digital payments, it’s more transparent, flexible and removes the need for you to queue to buy tokens or get refunds. Let us know how we’ve done and what we can do better by filling out our simple survey here: nottinghamcraftbeer.co.uk/feedback (and use that form to sign up for our emails, which will include notice about early bird tickets for next years’ festival going on sale - yes we’re committed to going again!) Oh and those of you here on the Saturday night please join us all at 7pm in celebrating Beer Day Britain and raising our glasses in the national Cheers To Beer. Enjoy! Al, Adam, Gareth and all the NCBF team.
Best of NCBF We’re running a competition with help from the Overdraft pub to see which beer you think is the best at this years festival. There’s a voting slip in your glass; before you leave fill it out and let us know which beer you enjoyed the most. We’ll count them up and announce a winner a few days after the festival.
