Just think, 40 years from now, you can go around telling people that you were at the very first Borderlands Beer Festival.
Hosted at our new brewery in Tweedbank, Borderlands will bring together our favourite breweries from either side of the border with over 100 beers pouring across the weekend. On top of that, there'll be tunes, street food, giveaways, freebies, t-shirt printing, free bottle pours and much more... it's set to be a right old bash.
Beer-wise, expect a cosmic smorgasbord of hop bombs, crispy boys, big stouts, fruit sours and everything in between from the likes of Beak, Left Handed Giant, Emperor's, Rivington, Dolphin, Two-By Two, 6 Degrees North, Thistly Cross and obviously Tempest We've also got European and USA Bars to bring a bit of international flair.
*for the non-beer drinkers, there'll be a Thistly Cross cider bar, plus wines, spirits, and soft drinks will be available in the Taproom.
