Below is the latest list of Beer that we expect to be delivered to the Durham Beer Festival.
This information is supplied in good faith and whilst we will attempt to keep this page as up to date possible there may still be some last minute changes to availability and ABV may occur. Please note that some beers are being held as reserves to be tapped when other beers sell out, so not all beers are available at all times.
