The Independents Beer Trail, returned for its fifth year with a four-day extravaganza showcasing the city’s incredible independent venues, from taprooms and pubs to bars and bottle shops, all brought to life by the brilliant Verdant Brewing Co.

​

Over the weekend, beer lovers explored Brighton’s best indie spots, collecting stamps along the trail and sampling some of the latest and greatest brews from two of the UK’s most beloved breweries. Highlights included plenty of fresh Verdant releases and two brand-new collaboration beers brewed exclusively for this year’s trail in partnership with Rivington Brewing Co.

​

The trail encouraged participants to discover new venues, try something fresh, and celebrate Brighton’s thriving independent scene — and judging by the smiles and full stamp cards, it certainly delivered.
