A beer festival taking place in Wales in November will help showcase the country’s growing brewing sector.
Nearly 40 independent breweries will take part in Indie Beer Fest Wales 2026, which is is a four-day festival running from the 12th to the 15th November at Down By Here Swansea.
The event aims to be a weekend of “discovery, conversation, and seriously great beer” with more than 150 beers pouring from cask and keg.
Indie Beer Fest Wales is described as a testament to the health and ambition of Welsh independent brewing, as SIBA regional director Lee Ralph said: “Right now, Wales stands alone as the only part of the UK where the brewing scene is actually growing.
“That is a massive achievement. Let’s raise a glass to it. Get behind the independent brewers putting their passion into every single pint. We don’t do mass-produced here, and neither should you. Keep drinking local, keep supporting independent craft beer, and let’s keep this Welsh scene thriving!”
The organisers added: “When you buy a pint at this festival, you are directly supporting the Welsh independent brewing scene and Welsh economy.”
