Ah, we’re nearly there now – and with that in mind, we’re proud to kick off the next few weeks of IMBC announcements by revealing the first wave of breweries who’ll be attending the festival.

As ever, we’ve picked the creme de la creme of our favourite beer makers, and this particular batch are the one who’ll be there all weekend long, pouring their freshest and finest by the third. In the coming days, we’ll be giving a day by day breakdown of the Thursday & Friday breweries, and well as those who’ll be there on Saturday & Sunday, plus all the information you’ll need about food options, tastings, and – 0f course – token prices.
