SLÀINTE MHATH! ABERDEEN TRAIL IS BACK SATURDAY 25TH APRIL!

The Award Winning Craft and Ale Trail buses return to Aberdeen on the 11am – 10pm, 25th of April 2020. Our unique moving beer festival ferries you out of town to country pubs, while you sample local craft beers, real ales and food, without worrying about how to get home, our regular buses arrive at each venue every 45 minutes.

It’s a new kind of a beer festival. All for you mature drinkers! No under 24’s allowed! Grab some friends for beer and a blether, while discovering pubs in the city and out into the Aberdeenshire countryside. We take you out of the Granite city along the dramatic coast line, stopping off at some of the best water holes in the area.

Our first Aberdeen trail took place back in September and was a big success! We had buses running all day, lashings of beer and 8 pubs filled with plenty of happy punters! Buy tickets at all pubs from March or online now, click here for tickets.
