BeerX 2023 –the UK’s biggest beer & brewing event

SIBA’s flagship event, BeerX, is back in Liverpool this year on March 15th-16th for what promises to be our biggest and best event yet, with tickets free and unlimited for all SIBA Members. The event, held annually at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, is the biggest trade event in the UK for beer and brewing businesses, homebrewers and craft beer retailers.

SIBA is delighted that Kegstar is continuing its partnership with BeerX UK for another three years as our headline sponsor. Attracting over 3,000 attendees from the beer industry last year, the event is attended by brewers and beer industry employees looking to expand their knowledge, discover the UK’s best independent craft beers, view the latest brewing equipment, ingredients and services, or network with others from across the industry.

sponsors for 2023, saying: “Kegstar has helped BeerX grow into the worldclass beer and brewing event it is today, and we are hugely grateful for their continued support as we look to collaborate with them as Headline Sponsors for the next three years. Container care is a huge worry for all breweries and Kegstar work closely with breweries of all sizes to offer a solution that works for them, whilst offering friendly and flexible customer service. They’ll be available throughout BeerX if you’re interested in a chat, some table tennis, or a beer!”

James Bleakley, General Manager UK & Europe for Kegstar, had this to say on the partnership with BeerX UK: “We’re delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with SIBA. BeerX provides a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, celebrate the achievements of UK breweries and discuss the key topics and challenges facing our industry. We have great admiration for the work that SIBA does through its campaigns such as the “make it 20” campaign and we are proud to offer our support wherever we can. It's an exciting time for Kegstar, launching our tried and tested scan-free, fixed fee solution last year, making it even simpler for brewers to work with us. Plus, we’re excited to share the many great opportunities for export across Europe, leveraging the support of our global MicroStar network.”

Featuring a packed schedule of expert workshops, panel debates, networking opportunities, a huge trade show of supplier products and services, and the SIBA AGM – plus a trade-only beer showcase exclusively featuring award winning independent craft beers in cask, keg, bottle & can – BeerX UK 2023 is seeking to build on the record attendance recorded in 2022 with what is now a must-attend event.
