Attendees will get the chance to explore, taste and indulge in the festival’s huge selection of beers, enjoying unlimited 100ml pours of more than 100 beers over the two-day event, and food from a selection of Birmingham’s top restaurants and chefs including street food giants Original Patty Men and Baked in Brick.

Ticket holders will enjoy DJ sets and live music from artists due to be announced soon.

Past acts at We Are Beer festivals have included the likes of Foals, Hot Chip and Two Door Cinema Club.

Greg Wells, co-founder of We Are Beer, said: “We’re looking forward to bringing Beer Central to the heart of the UK.

"From up-and-coming stars of the scene to ground-breaking producers at the top of their game, we’ll be showcasing some of the most respected names in the world of beer.

"Birmingham has such a respected fine dining and street-food scene and is home to some of the best restaurants in the UK; we can’t wait to bring those elements along with great music together in Digbeth."

Beer Central Festival takes place from July 5 to 6 and 119 in Digbeth.
