Craft Beer Rising

It's been a long time coming but we've finally published Trippa London for iOS and Android.  To celebrate the launch of our biggest and proudest project to date we had a beer or two.  If you're going to be in the English capital this weekend and fancy a pint, why not take a look at Craft Beer Rising, London's top Craft Beer Festival.

Every foodie adventurer and beer fan in town will jump at the line-up at the unbeatable Craft Beer Rising festival. It brings heady highlights of beer culture with some 60 breweries and over 200 beers, quality street food, and DJ sets by legendary Mr Scruff, Reverend and The Makers - (just ahead of their UK live tour and new album) celebrating their new collaboration ale with Thornbridge Brewery – Horse Meat Disco, Pete Paphides (BBC6 Music) and more. Immerse yourself in the craft beer revolution: Craft Beer Rising is named by the Financial Times as one of just five events which are ‘the UK’s hottest tickets of 2014’ – and that’s alongside landmark cultural events at the Tate and Glyndebourne.
Craft Beer Rising on 21-23 February 2014 in East London’s Brick Lane is again all set to welcome a new generation of curious craft beer fans and a refreshing, balanced male and female mix. This so positively reflects the profile of the surging 7.8 million craft beer drinkers in the UK. The original big brother of all urban beer & music festivals serves up so many taste discoveries to entertain you in one place at the atmospheric Old Truman Brewery in East London. These are tickets to be snapped up fast; last year’s festival was a sell-out. www.craftbeerrising.co.uk
