Brighton Tap Takeover, 8th-10th April

Some of the UK’s most exciting breweries are partnering with several of Brighton’s finest pubs to create the south coast’s biggest ever craft beer festival, the Brighton Tap Takeover.

Each of the breweries will ‘takeover’ the taps of their partnered pub for the whole weekend, creating the world’s best craft beer pub crawl. Expect special menus, live art, tutored tastings, and bands and DJs to keep you dancing into the early hours. 


The hub of the festival is the North Laine’s Brewhouse, which will feature beers from all of the breweries, alongside its own.

Buy a special wristband in advance to receive 20% off all beers, all weekend. Each wristband costs £15 and comes pre-loaded with £15 of beer credit, as well as a bag of limited edition merchandise.
