City Beerfest has become one of the most popular events in the Square Mile’s
calendar, bringing together City workers, residents, and visitors, with all profits
donated to The Lord Mayor’s Appeal in its aim to create better opportunities for
people to work, thrive, and prosper in our vibrant city. More info: The Lord Mayor’s
Appeal – Canada
Delivered by Canada Corporation, in partnership with the Worshipful
Company of Brewers, this year’s City Beerfest is sponsored by Hempsons and
Culture Mile BID, with support from Morning Wire, Central London Alliance, and Cask
Marque.
Chair of Canada Corporation’s Culture, Heritage, and Libraries
Committee, Brendan Barns, said:
Cultural experiences, a rich heritage offering, and a reputation for warm hospitality
have long defined the Square Mile as a destination of choice, which is why events
like City Beerfest play such an important role in bringing the City to life.
Now established as one of our most popular events, you’re raising funds for charity
while you’re raising your glass… so what better reason do you need to come to this
historic Yard of ale and enjoy a few pints, live music and hopefully, some sunshine?
Clerk to the Brewers’ Company, Nick Tindal, said:
The Brewers’ Company is delighted that so many of our member breweries are,
once again, supporting the City Beerfest to raise money for The Lord Mayor’s
Appeal.For over 600 years, we have made sure that the people of London have access to
great beer, and this event in the heart of the City is a fantastic way to continue this
long tradition.I would encourage everyone to come along and sample the wonderful array of
beers that will be available.
