The story behind the Beer Makes Glasgow craft beer Festival

The event came about with the collapse of the Great Scottish Beer Celebration run by Hippo Beers Ltd. They fell into liquidation taking with them a number of tickets already sold to the public.

The brewers and various people involved in the scene decided to take it upon themselves to attempt to rebrand and save the doomed festival under a new guise.

The new festival took place on the 25th & 26th of July 2017 at the Glasgow Art School and donated their ticket profits to the Drumchapel Foodbank with all previously sold tickets for the old festival remaining valid.

A tale of teamwork, determination, and passion, the story is told through the eyes of the people involved including:

Jake Griffin - Upfront Brewing

Conor McGeady - West End Beer Festival

Sam Corden - Drygate Brewing

Liz McGeady - Drumchapel Foodbank Manager

Ryan McGeady - Drumchapel Foodbank Coordinator

Jehad Hatu - Grunting Growler
