Popular Deeside beer festival returns next week

The beer will be flowing in Deeside later this month as a popular festival returns.

Tickets are now on sale Banchory Beer Festival’s Beer at the Barn, which takes place on February 16 and 17.

There will be a vast range of 15 beers, 12 gins, local rum, prosecco and ciders as well as hot food.

And there will also be live music throughout both days at the event, which was started by local brothers Mungo and Guy Finlayson.

This year’s event runs over three different sessions, 5.30pm-12am on Friday, 12pm-5.30pm and 6.30pm-12am the following day.
