February is shaping up to be all about beer. You've got Craft Beer Rising, a beer festival in Battersea, and also the first London Beer Week taking place across the capital from Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd February. You need to visit a hub first to get your wristband (one near Carnaby Street, one near Brick Lane) and then this gives you special offers at more than 100 venues - full growing list here.
"London Beer Week is teaming up with the beer-lovin’ chaps at Craft Beer Rising. Working together, the two teams are set to bring London seven days of beer, cider, stout and ale-filled fun. It has partnered with the city’s best and most celebrated bars and restaurants, including The Draft House, The Craft Beer Co, Whyte and Brown, Hops & Glory, Well and Bucket, Ask for Janice and Brewhouse & Kitchen Islington. There are more than 100 fantastic venues where wristband wearers will be offered £3 speciality beers and £5 Woodford Reserve boilermakers (AKA a beer and a bourbon) all week long.
Located in The Newburgh Quarter just off Carnaby Street, the central London wristband collection hub will be the home of the festival. In this pop-up beer bar, you’ll be able try brews, collect and buy wristbands and pick up the London Beer Week guide book with all the bars laid out onto handy maps.
Over in the East London wristband collection hub in Truman Brewery’s Corbett Place, Award-winning Cornish brewer, Sharp’s Brewery, will be offering VIP food and beer pairing sessions inside its exclusive ‘crate’.
If you can’t get to the hubs, watch out for Guinness, who will have ‘The Brewers Project’ vans hitting the streets of London in the form of Roaming Wristband Hubs. The vans will pop up at different locations throughout the week, loaded with wristbands, guidebooks, maps and samples of two new brews from ‘the black stuff’ - Guinness Dublin Porter and Guinness West Indies Porter.
As usual, the week will be jam-packed with events. Expect pop-ups, launches, tastings, supper clubs, brewery tours, masterclasses and offers across town. The biggest-yet Craft Beer Rising will end the week on a high, taking place from Thursday through till Sunday, 19-22 February. The CBR team are back at the Truman Brewery with an extended run, more brewers, live music, delicious street food and a full line-up of beer industry celebs taking to the stage to talk all things beer."
