A Celebration of Beer in the City!

The historic surroundings of Guildhall Yard were transformed into London's most unique outdoor pub on Thursday 2 July as City Beerfest 2026 welcomed beer lovers from across the Capital.

Visitors enjoyed the opportunity to sample more than 55 beers from 13 of the Brewers’ Company’s member breweries, alongside a range of street food, live music and entertainment in the unique setting of Guildhall Yard.

With McMullen’s, Damm 1876, Five Points Brewing Company, Harbour Brewing Co., Hook Norton Brewery, Meantime, Ossett Brewery, Shepherd Neame, Sleeman Breweries, Thornbridge Brewery, Timothy Taylor’s, Warsteiner and Windsor and Eton Brewery taking part, there really was a beer for everyone.

Here at the Brewers' Company, we were delighted to support another successful celebration of Britain's brewing heritage, while raising awareness and funds for the charitable partners of The Lord Mayor's Appeal.  We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participating breweries, volunteers, sponsors, supporters and visitors who helped make this year's City Beerfest such a success. Their generosity and enthusiasm continue to ensure that City Beerfest remains one of the highlights of the City's summer calendar.
