Winter Beer & Music Festival 29th Nov

Our winter beer & music festival is back for its second year on Saturday 29th November 2pm til 8pm, here at the brewery and our newly refurbished Tap Room in Bowburn North Industrial Estate, just outside of Durham city and 1 minute from Junction 61 A1M.

Those who’ve been before know it will be a friendly event with lots to keep you entertained throughout the afternoon and evening.  Plenty of new beers are continually emerging so we’re sure to have something you won’t have tried, together with our old favourites which we know you love. In addition to the beer, we’ll have soft drinks, wines and spirits. The Brewhouse and Tap Room are lit up and as it rolls into evening it becomes a very atmospheric venue.

We’re ramping it up a bit this year with music from the fabulous Marrianne, whom you may remember from the summer festival where she blew us all away. Followed by the one and only Longsight, a local full band playing every thing from the Clash, Buzzcocks etc to the Jam and Oasis. These guys are high energy and will bring the brewhouse down. Definitely not to be missed!

Children and dogs are welcome as long as they are supervised by well-behaved adults. Dogs are always welcome in our shop and bar area but not in the main brewery (except assistance dogs). If you don’t have your own dog, then Brewery head of house Luna the Weimaraner will be on patrol for pats and cuddles, so bring treats!

We have local street food, “Ribs by Ginge” to keep you well fed throughout the day.

This really is a great atmospheric festival to get you in the mood for the run up to Christmas & obviously we have merchandise and gift packs for sale on the day, ideal Christmas presents. The main thing though is just to sit back, try our award-winning beers and have a great time with new friends and old.

We cant wait to give you a warm welcome at our 2nd Winter Festival.

Tickets are £16.00 per person (no ticket needed for children or dogs) and include a limited edition pint glass with our Hophead logo or tumbler plus 3 drink tokens (half pint up to 5% abv or can be used for the other soft and alcoholic drinks). Your tickets are available from our online shop and the brewery shop & Tap Room.

Please dress accordingly as it’s an indoor/outdoor event, if you like you can bring a folding chair for sitting outside.

Please don’t bring any alcohol on site…we have plenty and it is our licence!

Hope to see you all at the bar to enjoy this fabulous event together.
