Stonehaven’s Midsummer Beer Happening is in full swing now and festivalgoers have been turning out in their hundreds to get a load of the craft beer action.
Making its welcome return since the coronavirus pandemic hit more than two years ago, organisers have been kept busy pulling beer and serving up a variety of dishes to those hungry for the event.
The festival’s signature brew, which is a dry-hopped pilsner that has been made by the team at Six Degrees North, has also been a hit, with many punters going back for more in the marquee at Baird Park in the town.
With more than 120 different beers available to try from a multitude of local, Scottish and international brewers, there’s something to suit all tastes.
There’s even some flavoured cider and Raw Culture kombucha for those looking for something non-alcoholic.
The Bay Fish and Chips, Seafood Bothy, Smoke and Soul and Wark Farm Pies have been serving up everything from chip shop favourites to plant-based mince for festivalgoers to soak up their beers with.
Local artists and bands have been performing live at the not-for-profit event and have volunteered their time for the festival which is in aid of good causes.
Since its inception in 2009 Midsummer Beer Happening has raised £52K for a whole plethora of local charities and causes which are mainly based within the Stonehaven area.
The festival is organised and run by a group of volunteers and it is said that around 350 people have put themselves forward to help across the three day event.
