TASTE CHAMPION BEERS AT HINCKLEY BEER FESTIVAL

🏆 Taste the Champions

What if you could taste some of Britain's most celebrated beers all under one roof?

At Hinckley Beer Festival 2026, you can.

Our festival isn't just about having a huge choice of beer. It's about discovery — finding beers you've never tasted before, meeting breweries doing things differently and, perhaps most importantly, discovering just how good beer can be.

That's why we're bringing together a selection of beers that have received some of the highest accolades in the world of beer.

From a Supreme Champion Beer of Britain to the 2026 Champion Beer of Britain, and from category Gold and Bronze winners to international recognition, these are beers that have already proved themselves on the biggest stages.

Now it's your turn to taste them.

🍺 Goats Milk – Church End Brewery

🏆 CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain 2017

Let's start with something pretty special.

Goats Milk from Church End Brewery in Warwickshire was crowned CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain in 2017 — the ultimate accolade in the competition.

It's a beer with a serious pedigree, and you'll have the opportunity to decide for yourself whether you think it deserves its legendary reputation.

The challenge: Have you tasted a Supreme Champion before?

🖤 Stout Coffin – Church End Brewery

🥈 CAMRA Sessions – Silver, Stouts & Porters 2024

If dark beers are your thing, make sure Stout Coffin is on your tasting list.

This Church End beer picked up Silver in the CAMRA Sessions, Stouts and Porters category in 2024.

Rich, dark and full of character, it's another example of why Church End has built such a strong reputation among beer drinkers.

Two award-winning beers from the same brewery.

One Warwickshire brewery.

Definitely worth exploring.

😈 Fallen Angel – Church End Brewery

🥉 CAMRA Champion Beer 2025

Church End isn't stopping there.

Fallen Angel took Bronze in the CAMRA Champion Beer competition in 2025, giving festival-goers another opportunity to taste a highly decorated beer from this Warwickshire brewery.

And with three celebrated Church End beers at the festival, there's a great opportunity to taste your way through the brewery's range and decide which one is your favourite.

🌟 Mild – Penzance Brewing Co

🏆 CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2025

Think mild is old-fashioned? Think again.

Mild from Penzance Brewing Co in Cornwall was named CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2025. That's right — a mild took the top prize.

It's a brilliant reminder that great beer isn't necessarily about strength, fashion or familiarity. Sometimes the most rewarding discovery is a style you thought you already knew.

Try it. You might never look at mild in the same way again.

🍺 Potion No. 9 – Penzance Brewing Co

⭐ CAMRA Champion Beer Finalist

And if Mild catches your attention, why not stay with Penzance Brewing Co and try Potion No. 9?

This beer was a finalist in the CAMRA Session Pale, Bitter & Golden Ales competition.

Two very different beers. One brewery. Another perfect opportunity for a little beer discovery.

🥇 Alfie's Revenge – Driftwood Spars

🏆 CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2026

Now we get to one of the freshest accolades in British beer.

Alfie's Revenge, from Driftwood Spars in St Agnes, Cornwall, was named CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2026, taking Gold in its category and Bronze overall.

And because it is the 2026 Champion Beer, festival-goers at Hinckley will get the chance to taste one of the country's most recently celebrated beers.

There's only one way to find out.

🏆 Independence – Bristol Beer Factory

CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2026

And then there's Independence from Bristol Beer Factory.

Named CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2026, Independence represents the very highest level of recognition in British beer.

It's precisely the kind of beer that belongs at a festival built around discovery.

You don't need to take our word for it.

Come and taste the Champion.

Then tell us what you think.

🇩🇪 Veltins – Germany

🌍 World's Best Pilsner

Champion beers aren't restricted to Britain.

Veltins, brewed by Veltins Brauerei in Germany, was named “World's Best Pilsner” at the 2007 World Beer Awards.

It's a chance to put one of the world's most recognised pilsners alongside some of Britain's most celebrated ales.

And that's what makes a beer festival so much fun.

You can move from a traditional British mild to a powerful stout, from a Cornish Champion to a German pilsner — all in one session.

🍻 Eight Beers. Countless Discoveries.

From Church End Brewery in Warwickshire to Penzance in Cornwall, St Agnes, Bristol and Germany, these beers demonstrate just how diverse the world of great beer can be.

And that's really what Hinckley Beer Festival is about. Not just drinking beer.

Discovering beer.

• Trying something you've never tried before.

• Finding a new favourite.

• Talking about it with friends.

• Going back for another taste.

• And perhaps finding out that the beer you expected to like least becomes the one you can't stop talking about.
