The beer festival like no other is back for 2024! Breweries of all sizes and ages will be pouring specially-brewed beers celebrating the incredible history of brewing, all taking place at Kirkstall Brewery.
Kirkstall has once again challenged breweries across the UK to dig deep into their local history, and exhibit one or more beers that provide a link to the past. Expect to be transported back in time, and taste beers recreated from recipes decades or even hundreds of years old.
Breweries exhibiting by invitation only will be pouring everything from classic Bitters and Export Pale Ales, to Milds, Porters, Brown Ales and Barleywines, and even oak aged Stock Ales and Imperial Stouts. Heritage styles of Lager, Saison and Brett Aged beers will also be on display, alongside some completely unique barrel aged projects and historic rarities.
Prize Medals will be awarded, judged from all exhibiting beers by a specially selected panel of judges.
There is a future in our past, and you can taste it at THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF PRIZE ALES!

Organiser
Kirkstall Brewery
At Kirkstall we continue a legacy of brewing left by the Cistercian monks of Kirkstall Abbey and the Kirkstall Brewery Company of 1833-1983. Our own beginnings as Vertical Drinks, importing the likes of Sierra Nevada, Odell and Stone as early as 2003, allowed us to learn from the masters before starting our own brewery in 2011.
Whilst we have grown a great deal since then, we remain dedicated to brewing and serving truly great beer in all its beautiful variety, complexity and simplicity. We are also as proud of our pubs as we are of our beers. In both the beers themselves and where we serve them, you can see first-hand our commitment to connecting the traditions of the past and the innovations of the present.
