East Bristol Brewery Trail marks a decade of independent brewing
East Bristol Brewery Trail marks a decade of independent brewing.
The East Bristol Brewery Trail is raising a glass to ten years of independent brewing this May Bank Holiday, celebrating its anniversary with a special birthday edition of the beloved event.
Taking place on Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3, the trail will span seven of East Bristol’s leading breweries, offering visitors a weekend of exceptional beer, live music, street food and a vibrant community atmosphere.
The anniversary edition will also feature exclusive limited-edition beers, created to mark a decade of collaboration, creativity, and craft brewing in the city.
This year’s line-up includes:
- Arbor Ales
- Good Chemistry
- Left Handed Giant
- Little Martha
- Moor Beer Co
- Unwins Brewery (joining the trail for the first time)
- Wiper and True
Visitors can explore each taproom at their own pace, enjoying fresh beer releases and the welcoming spirit that has made the trail a highlight of Bristol’s beer calendar.

To commemorate the milestone, all seven breweries have collaborated on a special range of anniversary beers, available exclusively across participating venues during the event weekend.
The initiative reflects the trail’s founding spirit from 2016: a shared passion for independent brewing and a commitment to champion East Bristol as one of the UK’s most exciting brewing hubs.

Since its launch, the East Bristol Brewery Trail has grown from a small collective of neighbouring breweries into a flagship event attracting thousands of visitors each year.
Over the past decade, it has become synonymous with collaboration over competition, showcasing the diversity, quality, and innovation of Bristol’s thriving beer scene.
