Bristol’s burgeoning taste for beer
New breweries and shops continue to open across the city
This weekend, indulge your love for beer on Saturday with the opening of Croft Ales, Bristol’s newest brewery and more evidence, if it was needed, that Bristol’s beer scene is alive and kicking. You can also eat Bristol’s best kebabs with your pint, as Murray May’s pops up at Moor Beer’s tap room on Friday and Saturday.
Something Good design festival will be running workshops across the city all weekend, offering a chance to learn something new and flex some creative muscle.
Musical tastes of all varieties are also catered to, with some great gigs across the city’s various venues. On Friday night, hip-hop legend DJ Shadow will have the O2 Academy jumping, while on Saturday Little Thief hit Leftbank for some rocking grooves.
