EAGLESHAM BEER FEST

Eaglesham Beer Fest is 10!

Having started in 2015 with nothing more than a passion to showcase Scottish food and drink in a (very) muddy field, we’ve grown, improved and survived a global pandemic.

Arising from the splashes of that first quagmire was a shared belief and passion for Scottish produce, as well as the love of a good old party.

So, we returned with an improved offering in 2016 and every year since (where possible), securing a place in both the local social calendar and that of the Scottish craft beer community.

Now, 11 years on, we will (finally) celebrate our TENTH BIRTHDAY on SATURDAY, JULY 4 – and we can’t wait for you to be part of it.

For 2026, we have ramped up our entertainment for all the family, with a firm festival favourite returning. Having first performed for us in 2017, the incredible Mr Wilson’s 2nd Liners will return, bringing their blend of New Orleans-style jazz and 90s rave anthems – think Prodigy, Leftfield, N-Trance and Gala.

Renowned for their interactive, Hacienda-laced performances, the band have twice played the festival before and were a huge hit with our crowd. It seems only right then, that they help us celebrate in style this July.

As well as the already popular Operation Play Outdoors, we will have improved kids’ entertainment with games and interactive play on offer, face-painting, glitter tattoos and balloon animals, as well as scrummy ice cream, burgers, sweets and all manner of treats.

Over the years, we have grown into one of the country’s biggest and most respected one-day beer festivals, culminating in us being crowned Scotland’s best food and drink event in 2019 and have twice been shortlisted for an award in ‘Scotland’s Best Large Festival’ category.

But whilst we have undoubtedly grown in size and reputation, the event has always been run by just Fraser and Laura and our ethos remains the same.

We want to continue improving what it is we do, to continue changing, adapting, and taking risks to ensure we are offering more and more value for our loyal supporters, all whilst retaining our desire to celebrate the best of Scottish and support local.

Keeping things as local as possible is vitally important to us.

We believe in supporting and showcasing local efforts, using local businesses and services where possible, and giving back to our local community; supporting groups, initiatives, and individuals where we can.

We believe in being accessible and attainable, and believe we provide a well-priced community event that specialises in craft beer and Scottish street food. A relaxed, family-friendly event, children are catered for with specific entertainment and food and drink offerings just for them – we even welcome well-behaved doggies with open arms and a treat!

For us, the event is the perfect way to bring our community together – the community we live and work in – and celebrate the best our country has to offer, with some good beers, good food, good music and very good times.

So, if you fancy joining us for a celebration of Scotland, summer, and community on July 4, then we’d love to have you!

You don’t need to know your hoppy IPAs from your saisons, or your Pilsners from your stouts – you just need a desire and open mind to try what’s on offer and have a great time with family and friends!

Hopefully we’ll see you in July!
