St. George’s Hall is hosting a new beer festival this September and teaming up with the iconic Ship & Mitre pub to do it 😍🍻
After 21 successful festivals spanning more than a decade at Hulme Hall, the expansion marks a significant new chapter for The Ship & Mitre, pairing its reputation for exceptional beer curation with one of Liverpool’s most architecturally and culturally important buildings.
The St George’s Hall Beer Festival will run from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 September 2026, offering more than 250 beers, ciders and spirits across multiple sessions. Visitors can expect real ales, craft beers, continental lagers, and a specialist gin and rum bar, with a lineup that blends respected national breweries with some of the most exciting local names in the region. Confirmed breweries include Ossett/Rat Brewery, Black Lodge, Azvex, and Colbier, with further announcements to follow.
The Ship & Mitre, a distinctive 1930s Art Deco landmark at the Queensway Tunnel end of Dale Street, has long been celebrated for its range and knowledge of real ale, craft beer and independent brewing. Bringing its festival to St George’s Hall represents a natural evolution for an event rooted in Liverpool’s independent beer community.
Alongside its expanded beer lineup, this year’s festival will also support Ronald McDonald House Charities, the official charity partner for 2026. The organisation provides vital accommodation and support for families with sick or premature children, and the partnership holds particular personal significance for Beer Festival Manager Andy Hayes.
Watch as we meet Ben and Andy from the Ship & Mitre to get all the info,
