WHERE TO BE SEEN

Craft Beer Rising is returning to The Old Truman Brewery in East London (23-25 Feb) bringing with it some of the best breweries, street food and music for the fifth year. Although CBR’s mascot, Foxy, a stuffed fox, remains missing (he went AWOL in Glasgow), there’ll be even more breweries and producers (around 170) including Meantime, Sierra Nevada, Mondo, Wild Card and Hoxton Cidersmiths, offering 700 beers for you to sample. Talks and tastings are also included in the ticket price, giving you the opportunity to hear some lively debate from some of the most respected industry insiders including Melissa Cole and Pete Brown. Tickets cost from £15 and include a branded glass and event programme.
