After the runaway success of the first Aberdeen Beer Festival, Aberdeen Inspired is delighted to join forces with Fierce Beer to serve up its second outing this April.
Now named Northern Lights: Aberdeen Beer Festival, the one-day event at the iconic Music Hall on April 11 will be bigger and better, organisers promise.
Featuring 12 world-class breweries, from established favourites like Northern Monk to darlings of the craft beer scene like Beak Brewery, the festival has also increased capacity from 1,300 to 1,600.
Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired, said: “We are once again delighted to collaborate with Fierce for the return of the Aberdeen Beer Festival. We are confident that beer-lovers will find it as dazzling as the Northern Lights it is named after.
“The success of the first festival in April this year proved there was a real thirst for this event, driven by Fierce who have a reputation second-to-none as one of the top craft breweries.
“This is exactly the sort of festival that helps attract people into the city centre, not just to enjoy the stunning array of beers that will be on offer in the Music Hall, but also to linger, have a bite to eat and enjoy the many other attractions in the city centre.
“Just like the inaugural event, Northern Lights: Aberdeen Beer Festival will be the toast of the Granite City.”
Dave Grant, founder and MD of Fierce Beer, said: “After the incredible success of last year’s inaugural festival, we’re delighted to bring the Northern Lights Beer Festival back for its second year.
“Our vision is to establish an annual celebration that the city can be proud of, bringing the UK’s finest breweries and most passionate craft beer enthusiasts north to connect with Aberdeen’s people and businesses.
“The vision is only made possible through the unwavering support of our extended Fierce Family. We hope to see even more of you there this year!”
The Aberdeen Beer Festival will run on Saturday, April 11, with two sessions at the Music Hall, from 12.30pm to 5pm, then from 6pm to 10.30pm.
