FyneFest x Indie Beer Scotland’s biggest beer festival joins forces with Indie Beer campaign

Scotland’s biggest beer and music festival is this year joining forces with ‘Indie Beer’, a UK-wide campaign pushing back against Global ‘craft beer’ and helping beer drinkers find genuine independent breweries.

FyneFest is an award-winning, family-friendly beer, food and music festival taking place on the 29th to 31st May in the stunning surroundings of Glen Fyne, and will this year only feature the very best beer from indie producers in a wide variety of styles – from hazy pales ales and traditional porters, to lagers, IPAs and speciality beers.

Every beer glass and every beer handpull at the event will proudly carry the Indie Beer mark, leaving festival-goers in no doubt that what they’re drinking is the real deal.

“Since its inception, FyneFest has always been about celebrating the best beers produced by Independent Breweries right across the UK. We are delighted to be working with SIBA to promote the Indie Beer Brand, so that all our festival goers can understand how important this is to independent breweries.” Jamie Delap, Fyne Ales Managing Director

Over 700 independent breweries across the UK, many of which will be on the bars at FyneFest, are now actively enrolled in Indie Beer, and since launch the campaign has had real cut through with consumers – with an impressive 31% of young (18-24) beer drinkers now aware of the campaign and a growing fanbase of beer drinkers signed up in support.

“We’re delighted to be working with Fyne Ales, who are not only superb independent brewers themselves but who have also created an event in FyneFest which is a perfect showcase a huge number of other Indie brewers. It’s going to be an amazing event and we can’t wait to see Indie Beer loud and proud across every bar and beer glass.” Neil Walker, Indie Beer campaigner.

You can find out more about Indie Beer via IndieBeer.UK, including access to the Brewery Checker tool – which allows beer drinkers to quickly lookup any brewery in the UK and see if they’re Indie or not. This makes it much easier to find out if the ‘craft beer’ you’re buying is actually owned by a Global beer company such as Heineken or Budweiser, or is the real deal and genuinely independent.

Fyne Ales will also be joining indie brewers from across Scotland in showcasing their beers at another beer festival next month, the upcoming Indie Beer Scotland in Edinburgh (26-27 June), which boasts the biggest selection of Scottish beers available anywhere on earth!
