Beer and cider lovers, mark your calendars for April 14 and 15. The Hopyard Craft Beer Festival is back for its second year for two days of bottomless beer buffet, street food and music from the UK’s finest DJs.

Taking place at Propyard on Feeder Road, this festival promises to be a beer and cider lover’s paradise featuring some of the best independent breweries from Bristol and the rest of the UK.

What to expect at Hopyard Craft Beer Festival 2023

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

This year’s festival promises to be even bigger and better than last year’s, with a lineup of well-established and up-and-coming breweries showcasing their craft beers and ciders.

Attendees can expect to sample a wide variety of brews, from traditional styles to experimental and avant-garde offerings. Hopyard’s impressive lineup includes South West breweries Electric Bear, Left Handed Giant, Bristol Cider Company, Arbor Ales, Wiper & True, Ciderbox, and Lost and Grounded to name just a few.

All beer for the day is included in the ticket price which is just £45, and also includes entertainment from some of the UK’s best DJs.

There will be a complete music takeover from Bristol Hi-Fi on Friday with the legends Daddy G and Queen Bee, while on Saturday, UK-based DJ duo The Nextmen will be providing an all-day take over in their signature long-set style blending hip hop, drum & bass, dub and soul to keep festival-fans partying all night.

In addition to the great brews and even better beats, Hopyard will also feature some of Bristol’s best street food vendors. Attendees can purchase food from vendors such as Little Taquero (traditional South American), Smoking Buns (American smash burgers), and Pizzarova (handmade sourdough pizza) to pair with their beers.
