It will both celebrate and promote craft beer not only brewed in the UK, but overseas too.

This year’s event will feature the ‘Maine Beer Box’, which will include pouring beers from over 60 breweries from one of the top beer producers in the US.

Brewers from across the state of Maine will fill the Maine Beer Box with fresh craft beer and send it aboard a freighter ship to Leeds, where Maine breweries will be featured at the 7th annual Leeds International Beer Festival.
