"We’re hopeful that the range of events we have lined up will not only be a treat for local beer lovers but also provide a much-needed boost in trade for our beloved Nottingham pubs and breweries.

“We’ve decided to ticket a lot of the events this year to help manage capacity, but if you look at what the ticket prices include you will soon see that most of them include freebies worth two or three times the value.

"We suggest buying tickets for all events early to avoid disappointment.”

Richard Johal, a director of Nottingham BID, commented: “We are delighted to be supporting Nottingham Craft Beer Week once again.

"The event has gone from strength to strength and thanks to this, the city's craft beer scene has come a long way in the last few years, with vastly more choice and availability.

"A lot of places have been on their knees with lockdown so hopefully this week can really champion local businesses.”
