EAGLESHAM BEER FEST

EagBeerFest started in 2015 with nothing more than a passion to showcase Scottish food and drink, and a (very) muddy field.

Arising from the splashes of the quagmire was a shared belief and passion for that from our loyal patrons – as well as a desire for 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, 10 years and a global pandemic on, 2024 will be our eighth event.

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. Indeed, for our 2023 event, we were shortlisted at the Event-It Awards in the ‘Scotland’s Best Large Festival’ category and hope to go one step further with our application this year.

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 – ee even welcome well-behaved doggies with open arms and a treat!

For 2025, we have ramped up our children’s entertainment, adding the fantastic Mini Manoeuvres in support of the already popular Operation Play Outdoors. That will see a kids’ disco, games and crafting offered alongside the interactive play already on offer. 

With face-painting, glitter tattoos and balloon animals also on offer – as well as scrummy ice cream – we think there’s plenty to keep the littl’uns entertained!

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 5, then we’d love to have you!

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

We’ll see you in July!
