About the 4th Cambridge Beer Quarter

 

After the success of our first ever joint beer festival back in May 2022 and winter festival in November, we are back with our annual  summer Cambridge Beer Quarter!

It will be taking place between the 24th and 29th June and throughout the week there will be a myriad of different events, tap takeovers, meet the brewers, music, food and so much more!

This time we are also adding a seventh venue, The newly re-opened Kingston Arms to the tour.
Each venue brings something completely different to the table. Scroll down to see THE LIST OF EVENTS and when and where they will be happening.

 

What’s more is, with your help, we can raise vital funds for local charities.
