The ‘Beer is for Everyone Festival’, Glasgow’s annual festival showcasing independent breweries and drinks specialists is returning later this month.

The event, which is organised by the Glasladies Beer Society (GBS), takes place at the Queen Margaret Union (QMU) and has become one of the most anticipated events of the Scottish beer calendar. 

It is also fully accessible, family-friendly and dog-friendly.

Regulars Dookit Brewing Co said they are attending again as they love what the Glasladies Beer Society stands for: “GBS is a great organisation genuinely promoting inclusivity in the Glasgow beer scene who also put on excellent and fun festivals, which are certainly one of my favourites in the calendar.”

Edinburgh-based Moonwake Beer Co. talked about their friendship with Glasladies via International Women’s Collaborative Brew Days over the last couple of years.

They explained: “Saying yes to the festival was a no-brainer. We love everything they stand for when it comes to making craft beer a more inclusive space, and the charity work they do is brilliant. We can’t wait to head down the M8 from Edinburgh to support the team, catch up with the Glasgow beer scene, and pour alongside some great breweries.”

Bullhouse Brew Co from Belfast, recent overall champion at the inaugural Indie Beer Awards Northern Ireland, is a first-time attendee.

“Creating welcoming, inclusive spaces to enjoy great beer is incredibly important to us at Bullhouse, so we’re absolutely thrilled to be invited to pour at Beer Is For Everyone for the first time this year. We love Glasgow and we’re looking forward to catching up with some old friends, and making new ones!” they added. 

The Glasladies Beer Society was founded in 2019 to help amplify the presence of women and non-binary people in the beer industry. It has just been shortlisted as a finalist for the upcoming Women In Beer UK Awards in the category of “Women’s Beer Collective of the Year.”
