Following the success of the inaugural event in 2025, we're delighted to announce the return of the Aberdeen Beer Festival. Under the new banner of "Northern Lights". We're back at the Music Hall on April 11th 2026.
We will, once again showcase twelve of the UK's finest craft beer breweries alongside some of our local friends.
Over 1300 beer lovers joined us in 2025. After such an incredible response from the community, we knew we had to return with an exceptionally strong lineup of guest breweries. And we’ve pulled it out the bag for you. Follow along on our socials as we announce each one of them throughout September.
The festival represents everything we love about craft beer – innovation, quality, and the connections that bring us all together. Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or just beginning your craft beer journey, this event promises something for everyone.
We can't wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones to what has quickly become one of Scotland's must attend beer festivals.
The 2026 brewery lineup is now locked in. Aberdeen has never seen a guest brewery lineup like this before. We've pulled out the stops to bring you some of the best in the UK and we can't wait for you to try what they're bringing.
We still have few other announcements to make. We're not finished just yet. Keep an eye on those socials.
