Derby Museums is teaming up with CAMRA to put on a beer festival in the city.
The Derby CAMRA Heritage Beer Festival will take place at the Museum of Making from 13-16 November and celebrate the city’s brewing heritage.
It is hoped it will become an annual event, marking the return of a beer festival to the city after a four-year gap.
Dr Alex Rock, director of commercial and operations at Derby Museums, said: “The Museum of Making celebrates the making heritage of Derby and Derbyshire, and key to this heritage is beer.
“On Museum Square, outside Derby Museum and Art Gallery, is a statue to Michael Thomas Bass, the brewing magnate who financed the build of the Museum and Art Gallery.
“Beer flows through the DNA of the city – Derby is the best city in England to drink real ale, and we’re proud to be working in partnership with CAMRA to celebrate the heritage of beer and brewing and the great culture of beer our city offers today.”
Tickets for the festival will go on sale in September.
