This weekend ALT MILK vegan festival brings all the beer, food, music and crafts you’d expect from a Pilcrow takeover – and all in eco-friendly, animal-loving fashion.

Expect a vegan tap takeover from some of the best names in beer, featuring Mikkeller‘s Spontandoubleraspberry, a sour ale brewed with raspberries and aged in oak barrels, a strawberry and elderberry wheat sour from Yonder’s Loop series, and a raspberry and hibiscus IPA from North’s collaboration with Dutch brewery Van Moll. There will also be vegan-friendly brews from the likes of Cloudwater, Beatnikz, and Track.

Soak up the beer with delicious bites from Firebird Hope and their legendary vegan chicken fried sandwiches, Sicilian treats from Little Orange Co., Mexican food with Northern soul from Twisted Meal, and vegan sweetness from Drizzle City Bakes.

There’s even more as ALT MILK vegan festival invite artists and makers presenting eco-friendly bits and bobs, and a DJ live on the terrace to keep the good vibes going.
