CHESHIRE festival Deva Fest has announced an exclusive partnership with Yorkshire based, Vocation Brewery, as its headline beer supplier for the event in August.

With a range of craft concoctions from IPA and Pale Ales to barrel-aged stouts and lagers, Vocation will be supplying draught and canned beer across all bars at the festival, including their famous (and original) classic IPA, Life & Death, and Hop, Skip & Juice, a hazy pale ale with a tropical twist.

Philip Marston, founder of Deva Fest, said: "As promised, this year’s Deva Fest is going to be bigger and better than ever, and of course, we didn’t just mean the line-up. It was a no brainer to include an exclusive beer partner to the festival that will bring a real mixture of good tasting ale and even more impressive knowledge to go with it.

"Alongside our exclusive food and drink partners, IKO and Artezzan, we’re so happy to be able to provide our festival attendees with a range of craft beers and IPAs across all of our bars from a premium, independent brewery like Vocation. We’ve made sure we’ve left no stone unturned with the selection of craft beer, it’s an experience your tastebuds don’t want to miss!"

Vocation Brewery has been brewing and creating craft ales since 2015, and now operates four of its own bars across Yorkshire and Manchester. The brewery is stocked in bars and bottles shops across the UK including retailers like M&S, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morisons and Co-op.

Richard Stenson, Managing Director of Vocation Brewery said: "We’re very excited about the partnership with Deva Fest, and we think the selection of drinks we’re bringing with us will encompass the feel-good festival vibes and ensure there is a beer for everyone.

"Deva Fest’s ethos of being inclusive, as well as providing support for local and independent brands, really resonates with Vocation and everything we stand for, so there was no question about the collab.

"We can’t wait to bring some of our favourite brews to the festival goers across the three-day weekend, as well as some exciting on-site activities to be announced closer to the time."

Deva Fest will feature five stages of music and comedy, including the newly named Vocation Stage. Headline acts include the likes of Will Young, Fleur East, Feeder, Starsailor, and Five. There will also be family entertainment with a free-to-use fairground, live performers, a circus tent and parade, Deva Laughs comedy club, on-site water sports, gin tasting and a range of hand-picked street food stalls.

Shuttle buses will run from nearby cities throughout the weekend and on-site parking is free for those coming by car.
