The first-ever SIBA Wales Beer Festival is set for September at Haverhub, bringing together Welsh craft and cask beers.

The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) Wales Beer Festival will be an unforgettable two-day event at Haverfordwest featuring a range of beers, local street food vendors, live music, entertainment, brewery Q&As, and meet-the-brewer sessions.

The festival marks a significant milestone in celebrating the thriving independent beer scene in Wales, bringing together the finest Welsh craft and cask beers, showcasing almost 100 beers from SIBA's independent member breweries across Wales.

Festival-goers will have the chance to taste award-winning brews and celebrate the creativity, passion, and innovation that defines Welsh brewing.

The festival will run from Friday, September 19 to Saturday, September 20 at Haverhub, Haverfordwest’s Community Hub. Building up to the excitement of the launch day, a beer competition will also take place at Haverhub on Thursday September 18, where a taste test will determine the best beers across Wales.

Sara Leigh Webber, Regional Director of SIBA Wales and Head of Marketing at Brains Brewery and, said:

“It’s really exciting news that SIBA’s first Wales Beer Festival is happening. This is a historic moment for Welsh brewing. For the first time, we’re bringing together breweries large and small under the SIBA banner to celebrate Indie Beer in true Welsh style.

“The SIBA Wales Beer Festival offers a unique opportunity to celebrate independent Welsh brewers who continue to fuel the growth of the beer industry in the country. Notably, Wales is the only area in the UK where the number of breweries has increased, with 97 breweries operating at the start of 2025, up from 96 at the beginning of 2024.

“Haverfordwest is the perfect place to launch our first festival – a welcoming community, a beautiful setting, and a great thirst for quality, independent beer."
