Welcome to the home page of the Glasgow Real Ale Festival (G-RAF) run by the Glasgow and West of Scotland branch of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale.
The 2025 Festival will held from the 19th to 21st June at The Briggait, near the River Clyde to the south of the city’s Merchant City area. We will feature over 100 different real ales, ciders and foreign beers, including a selection of gluten free and vegan friendly beers. We will also have mead from The Rookery and a gin, rum and wine bar. Our beer list is being prepared and will be published on our ‘Beer List’ as beers are confirmed. The list will also be available under the ‘News’ menu above. Our KeyKeg and foriegn bar will this year be run by Two Towns Down Brewing. Food vendors are currently being confirmed and will be announced in the near future.
Our charity this year is once again the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, a registered Scottish charity that provides palliative care and support for people living in South Glasgow and East Renfrewshire. Have a look at the ‘Festival Charity’ item in the ‘About’ menu above for more information on what they do.
The festival will be open from 3:00pm until 10:00pm on Thursday, 19th June, 12:00pm to 10:00pm on Friday, 20th June and 12:00pm to 9:30pm on Saturday, 21sh June. Tickets, costing £9.00, will be available at the door. Advance tickets will be available at our TCKTY website. Advance tickets will cost £19.00 and will include £10.00 of beer tokens. All tickets include a festival programme and a souvenier beer glass. Discounted rates are available for CAMRA members.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors, advertisers, volunteers and customers without whom we would not have been able to hold the Glasgow Real Ale Festival in the past. We look forward to welcoming everyone to G-RAF 2025.
