JQ Beer Weekend

About

Following success in 2023, the JQ Beer Weekend, celebrating all that's wonderful about beer, is coming back to the Jewellery Quarter this Spring, organised by the JQBID. From Friday 19th April to Sunday 21st April, 24 venues across the area are taking part in the second JQ Beer Weekend. Visitors who buy a drink at six venues will be able to take home a free JQ Beer Weekend t-shirt, featuring our cheeky seagull mascot.

The Jewellery Quarter isn't just a place for making and selling jewellery, it also has a thriving food and drink scene. The area is packed with hip new bars and good old-fashioned pubs, serving a huge range of real ales, craft beers and even local brews, with Burning Soul Brewery and Rock and Roll Brewhouse making beer right here in the JQ.

Our Beer Weekend has something for everyone with family friendly pubs, beer gardens, roof terraces and dog friendly bars galore. There's also plenty of places to grab some food alongside a pint – with JQ pubs that serve everything from curries to a Sunday Roast featured in the Beer Weekend. There are also special events and offers to check put on all three days – everything from discounted drinks, to live music and DJ sets. There's time to visit all your old favourites and discover a few new pubs too, whilst still drinking responsibly. Check the event guide for details of opening times, events and any special offers for each venue.

Visitors who pick up a JQ Beer Weekend guide from any of the 24 pubs, can collect stickers from each venue where they purchase a drink (including non-alcoholic drink options). Six stickers can be redeemed for a t-shirt at one of the six collection points throughout the Quarter. There are a limited number of t-shirts available, but anyone who misses out can contact JQBID after the event to be entered into a prize draw.
