Non-CAMRA Events

This page contains a selection of beer and cider events held in and around Leeds which have not been organised CAMRA. Most will be beer festivals in pubs or 'village halls', but it can be anything which is sympathetic with CAMRA's aims. Inclusion in this list is not an endorsement by CAMRA and it is not intended to be a complete list of everything happening in the area.

For events which have been organised by CAMRA see What's On .

    Although outside the Leeds area special mention must be made of the Rotherham's Bluecoat. Instead of rotating the ales through one bar, they are introducing a temporary festival bar, funded by Rotherham Cancer Care and Rotherham CAMRA This means all 30 ales will be available simultaneously!
