Gravity Beer Festival returns to Edinburgh this week following sellout years as organisers release final tickets

Gravity Beer Festival first launched in 2023 and returns to Summerhall for its fourth annual event

A popular beer festival is making its return to Edinburgh following a series of sellout events.

Gravity Beer Festival, which launched in 2023, will be taking place at Summerhall on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26.

The event is the Capital’s only “all-in” craft beer event with more than 60 beers and ciders available to sample from 14 breweries and a cidery.

The festival sold out its allocation of tickets in 2023, 2024 and 2025, with Edinburgh brewer Barney’s Beer releasing a final batch of tickets for the 2026 edition.

As well as samples from breweries such as Sierra Nevada, Pilot Beer, Stiegl and Barney’s, the festival line-up also includes free tutored talks and tastings, street food vendors in the courtyard and a no-and low bar featuring a range of low and alcohol-free tipples.

Founder Andrew Barnett said: “Year four, and it might just be our best yet.

“We're welcoming 15 brand new brewers to Summerhall this September. Over 60 beers, a no-and-low bar, tutored tastings, street food, and yes, dogs are still very much welcome.”

Gravity Beer Festival will take over the Dissection Room at Summerhall, with four sessions over the two days available to book.

These sessions will run from 1pm until 5pm and 6pm until 10pm on Friday, and again from 12.30pm until 4.30pm and 6pm until 10pm on Saturday.

Tickets are priced at £41.50 and includes access to samples from all brewers as well as a branded Gravity Beer Festival glass. You can buy tickets from the Gravity Beer Festival website.
