Glasgow Real Ale Festival returns to The Briggait from 6–8 August 2026 for three days of cask-led drinking.
Run by CAMRA Glasgow, this is a strong introduction to British real ale culture, with a focus on cask-conditioned beer and cider served in a historic riverside venue. Expect a wide spread of styles, with Scottish breweries well represented alongside producers from elsewhere in the UK, and a format designed for tasting at your own pace. The Briggait sits close to the Merchant City, so it’s easy to build into a Glasgow weekend of food, museums and live music. With festival days spanning Thursday through Saturday, you can visit as a quick stop or plan a longer session with friends. Use the official festival site for ticket releases and session information. Check the official festival pages for updated ticketing and session information as the dates approach.
