Reading Amateur Brewers proudly present the inaugural RAB Fest – a one-day celebration of great beer, grassroots brewing, and community spirit.
Your ticket (£15) includes a custom RAB Fest 2025 glass and the opportunity to sample home-brewed beer from champion brewers across the UK. Expect everything from classic styles to experimental pours, including entries from our “Sours in the Sun” competition, with winners announced live at the event. Beer is offered by club members on a not-for-profit basis for appreciation and feedback.
There’ll be informal talks and demos throughout the day, covering judging, homebrew techniques, and the journey from amateur to professional brewing. We’re also planning a few family-friendly games and activities.
RAB Fest is strictly DIY when it comes to food: we’ll have some snacks and soft drinks available plus basic kitchen facilities but you’re welcome to order in or bring your own picnic/BBQ/pizza oven.
If you’re lucky enough to look under 25, please bring ID – no beer samples for under 18s!
