Craft Brew Festival Presents: Oktoberfest Middlesbrough will run for a total of five hours from 1pm to 6pm on Saturday 10 October 2026.

Brewers from each brewery will be pouring their own beers at the festival.

This gives you the opportunity to talk to the brewers about their beverages and find out more about the brewery and how they make their delicious craft beers.

The festival will feature a diverse range of beers, from German lager, hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to sours, saisons and everything in between, all carefully selected to offer a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.

For non-beer drinkers, we will also be serving delicious craft cider, wine and prosecco.

For attendees who prefer not to drink alcohol, we’ll be pouring non-alcoholic beer and soft drinks.

We’ll also give you a handy festival programme on entry, that lists everything on offer.

For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, we’ll have one non-alcoholic beer on draft, along with a selection of soft drinks.

At Craft Brew Festival, we offer a single non-alcoholic beer option due to the historically low demand for alcohol-free options at our events. In the past, offering multiple choices led to significant waste as unused stock expired. To stay sustainable and minimise waste, we’ve chosen to focus on one quality non-alcoholic option on draft.

Please note: The non-alcoholic beer we serve contains 0.5% ABV and is subject to availability (like all drinks).

Craft Brew Festival Presents: Oktoberfest Middlesbrough is hosted at Teesside University Students' Union. The venue is accessible to all, with dedicated staff available to assist if needed.

There is also an easy accessible toilet located within the venue.
