The Awesome BrewLDN 2020
Thousands of beer lovers flocked to one of the biggest highlights of the year. From the team behind Craft Beer Rising, BrewLDN craft beer festival launched for the very first time at the end of February. The event held in the iconic Old Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, Brick Lane, London did not disappoint, spanning across a three day period.
We checked out the trade day and it was bustling with plenty of awesome brews flowing. With so many breweries there’s never going to be time to see and try everything, and to be honest you’d be hard pushed to do it in the whole three days. Over 150 breweries were in attendance, travelling from all around the world from Scotland to Virginia offering something for every kind of craft beer lover. 
Regulars like Tiny Rebel were smashing out a fair few favourites which always pleases. There were also many smaller nano breweries joining the party for the first year; Flowerhorn Brewery from South Wales have been tipped for great things this year. They had bought their fantastic psychedelic range including Mantis Passionfruit American IPA, brewed using Strata hops and one of the few breweries to be doing so in the UK. Brummie boys Attic Brew Co. were also debuting at the event with some easy going brews like their Kveik Sabro Session IPA “Nobody’s Poet” and Shropshire brewery Evolution Beer brought along their "Here's Donny" Helles.
Gorgeous Brewery were serving their Grasshopper CBD Pale Ale which was launched last year and has been a recent hit in the media. Wild Card had a killer soft serve machine on the go and were serving their Lime Sour Slusheh which went down an absolute treat! 
For those looking for the low and no alcoholic brews Drop Bear Beer Co. and Big Drop Brewery have good choices. And from the other end of the spectrum, Glen Affric Brewery’s barrel-aged brews served as the perfect night cap!
The event had a whole host of partners including official tech partners BrewBroker who powered the BrewLDN app, which made networking fantastic for both breweries and distributors alike.
There were plenty of food options too and Vegan Bao’s dumplings and seaweed fries were banging! This was accompanied by an epic music line-up which topped things off.All in all there was fantastic quality and great company, so bring on next year!
