Bedminster Beer Trail 2024: All you need to know including dates and participating venues

Bedminster Beer Trail will be returning this weekend (June 14 to 16) with tap takeovers, one off pours, outside bars and some very rare beers available.

Following the demise of Bedminster BID, this year’s event has been fully self-funded by the participating venues, making the trail a true celebration of South Bristol’s independent hospitality scene.

All the venues will be offering Bristol Beer Factory’s popular trail beer South Of The River, a delicious 4% session IPA.

Participants can collect a free stamp card - which have been designed by local artists Ed Cheverton and Jayde Perkin - from any participating venue throughout the week and including on the day of the weekend event. Guests will receive a stamp from each participating venue when they purchase any drink (including soft drinks).

Those who complete the stamp card will be rewarded with a can of South Of The River from Bristol Beer Factory as well as 10% off draught beer throughout the rest of the month in participating venues.

Mike Fenlon from Alpha Bottle Shop & Tap and co-founder of the Beer Trail said: "We created the Bedminster Beer Trail to celebrate the amazing beer scene we have here in South Bristol and this year’s event is going to showcase just that. With our collaboration beer ‘South of the River’ uniting all of the venues, each stop on the trail also provides its own unique offering. By collecting stamps at every venue, trail goers get to explore new places and soak up all that Bedminster has to offer."

Molly Goldwater from The Tobacco Factory said: "BS3 has a genuine, exciting and resilient independent community. We always look to represent local, and being part of the Bedminster Beer Trail is a highlight of our calendar year. We will have lots going on in both our Café Bar and Yard, and can't wait to see what our friends will be putting on along the trail."

Charlie Taylor from KASK said: "Bedminster Beer Trail is one of the most exciting weekends in the calendar and shows the massive quality of independent venues we're lucky to have in Bedminster. This year, as well as our usual mix of Bristol-brewed beers, we'll be bringing back the full range of mixed-fermentation ales from Barcelona's Cyclic Beer Farm. Our fav non-Bristol beers, these use organic produce such as peaches, coffee, oranges, grape skins or beetroot in wild ferments, creating super refreshing and unique ales."
