🍻 THE SULWATH END OF SUMMER B**R FESTIVAL IS HERE! 🍻

We kicked off the summer with a b**r festival… so it only seems right that we finish it with one too!

Join us at the brewery on Saturday 29th August as we see out the summer with another big day at Sulwath Brewers.

🍺 Award-winning Sulwath ales
🎶 Live music throughout the day
🍔 Burgers & more
🍻 Outside bar in the brewery yard

The Taproom will be open from 10am, with the festival getting underway and outside bar on sales from 11am, right through until 6pm.

Our festival at the start of the summer was a brilliant day, and we’re looking forward to filling the brewery yard again for one last summer get-together.

📅 Saturday 29th August
⏰ Open 10am | Festival 11am–6pm
📍 Sulwath Brewers, Castle Douglas

Round up the troops, get it in the diary and come raise a pint with us as we send summer off in style! 🍻

Why not warm up for our Festival at the Blue Bell Inn b**r festival August bank holiday weekend?

17/08/2026

Just over 72 days to go until our b**r & c***r festival opens.

That might sound like a long time to you but we know we have a “million and one” things to do before then.

Our organising team meet this Wednesday evening. With 13 fairly wide ranging items on the agenda, it could be a long meeting!
