March 2012 Beer Festivals

Help to drink in the start of Spring.

These are the beer festivals I know about for March 2012 and I’ve gleaned the information from a variety of sources – Twitter, CAMRA, emails and trade papers etc.

Beer Festivals by Month

The beer festivals are laid out in order of start date and I remove ones that have already happened.

If you know of a beer festival that’s not listed here perhaps you could let me know via the Add a Beer Festival page and I’ll include it for everyone’s benefit. You can also tweet me at @goodbeergoodpub. The date, location and link to a website is always useful but feel free to tell us more.
