Brewer and music line up revealed at Scotland's ‘largest craft beer festival’

More than 20 Scottish breweries and a live music line-up have been confirmed for Scotland’s ‘largest craft beer festival’ in 2024.

Indie Beer Scotland, which launched at Edinburgh’s BT Murrayfield in 2022, is due to take place on September 6 and 7 within the Clyde Rooms at Edmiston House, Glasgow.

Dubbed ‘Scotland’s largest craft beer festival’, the event will feature over 200 different Scottish cask and craft keg beers from 23 breweries, as well as a selection of independent cider and spirits, plus live music from eight acts across three sessions.

Visitors can expect beers and ales from Fyne Ales, Moonwake, Loch Lomond, Harviestoun, Stewart Brewing and many others, plus live music from Have Mercy Las Vegas, James Gillies and Reely Jiggered, among other acts.

All beers and ciders will be priced at £4 a pint if they are up to 4.5 per cent in strength, £5 a pint at 4.6 per cent to 6 per cent in strength, and £6 at 6.1 per cent to 7.9 per cent.

The event is organised by Scottish brewers from the not-for-profit trade association the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA), and all ticket and beer prices have been frozen from 2023.

Festival organiser Fiona MacEachern, from Loch Lomond Brewery, said the event had found its home at the “superb” venue in Glasgow, following its debut at the venue last year.

She added: “We’re proud to be pouring Scotland’s best independent craft beers at Indie Beer Scotland and I think this year’s brewery list shows just how much quality Scotland has to offer right now.”
