New week, new brewery announcement.... Lost Cause Brewing! New brewery… serious pedigree. Colin Stronge’s Lost Cause is already turning heads with clean, confident, characterful beer. New name or not… you can consider this a must-visit bar at CCBE 2026.

Next up, Funk Club faves... @BalanceBrew, the mixed-ferm geniuses from Manc. Will & James brew with intent, blending beer & yeast cultures into something quite profound. Their mixed-ferm creations capture the beauty of time & technique. Tickets: https://t.co/714t6PpEYs

Just got a video note from Dale after he put up some Xmas decs... "Baubley, baubley, baubley, poinsettia, baubley, baubley, then some berry things, lots of lickle baubles and some bows. Oh well, took forever, cost a fortune... heh and doesn't look that much fucking different."

Next up... @IndieRabble burst onto the scene, made a lot of noise & won SIBA’s “Best New Independent Craft Brewery” in '24. Not a bad start! Big flavours, bigger personalities. Expect beer with attitude & fun… and a bit more attitude. Tickets: https://t.co/714t6PpEYs

Straight off the back of our launch of their CCC series, we kick off with a true UK trailblazer. @SirenCraftBrew have been pushing the boundaries of modern UK brewing for over a decade. What a way to start our Expo line-up! Tickets: https://t.co/714t6PpEYs

We’ve pulled in some absolute bangers for next year… trust us on that! A couple of dream gets, a few surprises, and one or two names we still can’t believe said yes. First brewery announcement drops at 5pm on Monday 17th Nov. Get ready… it’s going to be special!

We’ve been fortunate enough to welcome some incredible breweries over the last two years of the Expo at @StoryhouseLive from icons to innovators, fan faves to quiet geniuses. Swipe through to see who poured at the Expo in '24 and '25… then take a guess who’s coming in 2026 👀

Definitely worth a visit.

We’ve got dedicated talks too… proper stories from the brewers throughout Friday and Saturday. You'll get to hear first-hand the art of craft beer with anecdotes and insights from industry insiders. Tickets are live now: https://t.co/714t6PqcO0

Every ticket gets you in to meet the brewers themselves, hands you a new bespoke glass, and sends you home with an exclusive collab beer brewed just for the Expo! A tasty little souvenir for the fridge.

YEAH BABY! We’re back for year 3... and it just keeps getting better! Chester Craft Beer Expo returns to @storyhouselive's Garret Bar & Theatre on 13–14 Mar '26, & we’ve lined up another superteam of brewers for your pleasure! Some of the UK’s most loved breweries.
