Beer Week will return to Sheffield this weekend, bringing unique food and drink to South Yorkshire for the 11th consecutive year.
The annual festival will run from Monday 10 March to Sunday 16 March.
Beer lovers can expect a city wide celebration focused on supporting both local and national independent breweries.
Jules Gray, organiser of Sheffield Beer Week, said: ‘We are thrilled to bring back Sheffield Beer Week and invite the community to join us in celebrating the city’s vibrant beer culture.
“Sheffield has such a thriving beer scene and it’s wonderful to take a real deep dive each March under the Sheffield Beer Week banner to showcase that even more as a community.”
A range of events will take place across the festival, including talks from industry experts, local brewery tours, pub crawls and trails.
Indie Beer Feast will kick things off on Friday 7 March at Trafalgar Warehouse. Other venues featured include The Albion, The Rutland Arms and Kelham Island Tavern.

Sheffield Beer Week was first held in 2015 and has taken place every year since, including during the Covid pandemic when fans and experts met online.
Dave Thomason, 62, of Crookesmoor, has attended the event for the last three years.
He said: “Beer week is brilliant, it’s one of the best events of the year.
“Not only does it highlight some of the great local breweries we have, but it also brings other companies from across the country here as well.
“I’m really looking forward to enjoying this year’s events.”
Award-winning beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones will head up events alongside Founder and Director of Women in Beer, Amelie Tassin.
Organisers have also decided to increase the amount of food options during the festival, aiming to highlight local restaurants and eateries.
Mrs Gray added: “This year, we are focusing on the unique connection between beer and food, while also honouring our city’s brewing heritage and the stunning outdoor city we call home. We encourage everyone to come out and experience the best of Sheffield.”
Sheffield’s first pub, the Old Queen’s Head, opened in 1475. There are now more than 400 pubs in the area, many of which are featured during the Beer Festival.
