IT'S NEXT MONTH!! October 6th - 8th 2023 hastingstaptakeover.com #hastingstaptakeover #independentbeer #craftbeerfestival #hastingsbeer #hastingspubs #hastingsevents

With just five weeks to go until we're in the heady thick of it all, it's high time we gush about the lineup🍻 Liverpool's Azvex Brewing Co. has been churning out impeccable hazy IPAs alongside fruited sours and massive stouts since 2021. You'll find the best of them at The Seadog 🥳

Next up, local heroes and TTO favourites, it's the inimitable burningskybeer at The Marina Fountain!

Next on this year's ultimate pub crawl, it's EIGHT ARCH at THE JENNY LIND! 🍻

HTTO aficionados may remember our next brewery from happy, hazy scenes at last year's event. Yes Floc. Brewery & Taproom is back to bring its magnificent hop soup to the The Crown Hastings 🍻

Haze fans rejoice, as next up we have another purveyor of exquisite juice: it's GRAVITY WELL at EEL & BEAR 🍻

You may know our next brewery for its many Mary beers - Mary Jane, an American-hopped session pale, being the most famous. It's ILKLEY BREWERY at THE TOWER 🍻

Sometimes a brewery will try to straddle modern and more traditional styles and one side just doesn't come off. Thankfully our next brewery is really splendid at both: it's IRON PIER at the ST LEONARD 🍻

If you havent yet heard of our next brewery, you'll certainly be familiar with some of its founders' previous work, most notably at The Kernel. Expect exceptional, sessionable pale ales, lagers and stouts. It's NEWBARNS at the PRINCE ALBERT 🍻

Closing in fast on the big weekend, and still loads of breweries to get squealingly excited about. At our next stop you'll find a collaboration beer brewed specifically for the event: it's NORTHDOWN at the IMPERIAL 🍻

Next up another name that will be familiar to HTTO devotees, it's everyone's favourite ONLY WITH LOVE at THE ALBION 🍻

📢 IMPORTANT NEWS 📢 Due to circumstances beyond their control, there has been a change of brewery at the JOLLY FISHERMAN. We're thrilled to announce that they will now be pouring Nottingham's finest, NEON RAPTOR 🍻

As we hurtle through the final two weeks, tap lists are finalised, t-shirts have arrived and it's all feeling deeply exciting. If you're still pondering your route, let's meet our next brewery: it's POLLY'S BREW CO at COLLECTED FICTIONS 🍻

Ten days to go, and the forecast is looking pretttty goood 🤞 Just a few stops left on our virtual tour before it's time to do it for real! Next up it's REDWILLOW at TWELVE HUNDRED POSTCARDS 🍻

HTTO is all about filling the town with breweries you might not have come across before, so all you have to do is stroll around and discover a load of new beers to get excited about. We reckon our next brewery will be a case in point: it's SIMPLE THINGS FERMENTATIONS at HEIST 🍻

Things are really gearing up, with just days to go before the big event. We can't believe it's already next week that town will be abuzz with beer-lovers clutching maps, drinking pints & making friends. But first, still a couple of breweries to meet! Next up, SIREN at THE PIPER🍻

It's here. This is the week. In a few days we'll be skipping from pub to pub in the crisp October sun, marvelling at how on earth so much incredible beer can fit into such a small town. But first! One final brewery has yet to be proclaimed. It's UNBARRED at COURTYARD🍻

Hear a distant rumble? The beer tsunami will return, October 4th - 6th 2024. It is looking EPIC. Full lineup announcement soon. #hastingstaptakeover #hastingsbeer #hastingsevents #independentbeer #craftbeerfestival
