Fyne Ales has revealed the first breweries confirmed for FyneFest 2026, offering a glimpse of what’s shaping up to be another exceptional year for beer lovers in Argyll.

Each summer, FyneFest takes over Fyne Ales’ brewery farm, bringing together beer, music and food in a setting that gives the festival its unmistakable character. With long days, open skies and a packed programme across the site, the beer remains at the heart of the weekend.

The 2026 brewery line-up brings together long-standing FyneFest favourites alongside a strong wave of breweries appearing at the festival for the first time. The result is a broad, carefully balanced mix that reflects the depth and variety of independent brewing.

New additions this year include breweries from across the UK, from Liverpool’s Azvex Brewing and Birmingham’s Attic Brew Co, to Manchester’s Steelfish, Wales’ Wilderness and Woodshedding Brew from Somerset. They sit alongside many more new breweries woven throughout the taps, giving festival-goers plenty to explore across the weekend.

FyneFest 2026 will also showcase breweries from Northern Ireland for the first time, with Bullhouse, Beer Hut, Heaney, Lacada, Modest Beer and Mourne Mountains all making their FyneFest debuts, further expanding the range on offer.

Speaking about the beer programme for 2026, Aidy Fenwick, Head of Marketing at Fyne Ales and FyneFest’s beer coordinator, said:

“Every year we try to introduce FyneFesters to new breweries, while also showcasing the incredible beer from breweries we’ve partnered with for years. 2026 is a year I’m particularly excited about – we’ve got beer coming from every corner of the UK, which is no small feat given our rural location. But when the weekend comes around and I finally get to put my feet up with a pint at the festival bar, it always reminds me why it’s worth it.”

The low and no alcohol beer line returns for 2026, with rotating beers all supplied by Cloudwater, continuing the festival’s commitment to offering high-quality options across the board.

More beer-focused announcements are still to come, including panel talks and a new collaborative project with Yakima Chief Hops, alongside further music and food reveals.

With its mix of standout beer, live music, great food and a setting unlike anywhere else, FyneFest 2026 is already shaping up to be one to watch.
