We’re really excited to welcome you all to Penryn on Saturday, 26th July for our Little Summer Beer Bash 2025. (SOLD OUT)
The Little Summer Beer Bash is a brewer-run, intimate beer festival co-hosted by Verdant, DEYA, and Left Handed Giant. This 2025 edition is taking place at Verdant Brewery & Taproom. We have invited 30+ of our best friends from the industry along for a day of beer drinking, music, and fine food. Click here to discover the beer list.
Here we have put down some notes and thoughts around the festival and what you can all expect when you arrive. Firstly, we need to share our code of conduct for the event. Please read it and do share it with anyone who is travelling to be with us for the weekend.

Each session will be token-led payments (please note that you can only purchase tokens via card payments). Tokens cost £2, and the price of the beers will depend on the ABV. Each pour will be a third of a pint.

7. WHERE TO GO BEFORE AND AFTER THE FESTIVAL?
We now have 4 official Verdant venues, and we want them to represent not just us, but the places they're found. Being based in Cornwall, a relaxed and good-life kind of place, the idea from the outset was to create a few cosy spaces with a Verdant touch.
If you arrive a few days before the festival, feel free to check out The Verdant Seafood Bar (Falmouth), The Seaview Inn (Falmouth), Schooners (St Agnes) and of course our Verdant Taproom (Penryn). No booking required. More info here: https://verdantbrewing.co/pages/our-venues.
You will also find loads of amazing venues for food, drinks, coffee and more around the Brewery! Head to Falmouth town centre and use our dedicated map to find the best spots.
From the 25th to the 27th of July, you can also join us at The Cornish Bank Summer Camp, nestled in the woodlands of Trefusis Estate (Flushing), for three days of magic. Let loose in a field, listening to incredible music from all over the world, take part in workshops and dance amongst friends and family. Tickets are still available here for Friday and Sunday.
