Crafty Dogg’s Craft Beer Festival 2023

This May will see the the return of the annual Crafty Dogg’s Beer Festival to Ilkley. The event will be held at Ilkley’s Kings Hall and Winter Garden, with more than 15 craft breweries attending.

Among those attending are Bini Brew Co, Tartarus, Merakai and Overtone, who will be bringing some very special beers for everyone to purchase.

The event will run over 4 sessions over the 3 days. You can choose to buy tickets for either 11am till 4pm or 6pm till 11pm on through the 3 days with prices starting at £9.50 plus booking fee per session, which gains you entrance to the festival and glassware. (The event website notes that this is an early bird price ending in February, however at 04/03/23 the Eventbrite site is still showing that price.)

Other drinks options are available and food will be supplied by a variety of street food vendors. Organiser Nate said, “Being a local there was only one place I wanted to hold this. Ilkley Beer Festival is a fantastic event and my hope is that Crafty Dogg’s Beer Festival becomes another regular event in Ilkley, getting more people into Ilkley and driving footfall in to local businesses.”
