Brand new additions for 2017 will see a gin bar and a wine bar added to the festival! With a wide-ranging audience demographic and an ever-increasing female attendance, we’ve stretched our range to cater for a big variance in tastes. The Prosecco bar has been very well received in past events and will be returning, to feature alongside the brand-new wine bar.
Gin has also seen a huge rise in popularity in recent times and will make it’s debut this May with different long mix drinks available as well as the good old fashioned Gin & Tonic. The Gins will be served with all the matching botanicals and mixers, with a Gin expert on hand to advise the perfect pours!

We’re thrilled to announce that Fallen Acorn Brewing Co. will be sponsoring Portsmouth Beer Festival – Christmas Sessions 2016!
Emerging from the much loved Oakleaf Brewery which went in to administration earlier this year, Fallen Acorn Brewing Co. is a super squad formed from the existing Oakleaf Brewery Team and investors Just Develop It.
Oakleaf fans will be pleased to hear Hole Hearted and the IPA is available again alongside some new brews. Fallen Acorn is really excited to introduce a new Coffee Porter to its core range, which features a special blend of coffee made in collaboration with Gosport’s very own Solent Coffee Roasters and we can’t wait to try it!
Fallen Acorn’s Managing Director, Matt Curd says “We want to make beer that appeals to CAMRA drinkers, as well as Craft Beer drinkers, some with finings, some without, traditional styles like copper ales alongside quirky beers with insane flavours. We recognise the importance of tradition but also the demand for new and unique brewing techniques. We drink both, and we want to brew for both groups.”
We like the sound of that!
You’ll be able to try some of Fallen Acorns new and old brews at this December’s Portsmouth Beer Festival!
