Popular Beers for Weddings

Why Beer is a Must Have at Weddings

Beer is the great social equaliser accessible, refreshing, and perfect for everything from toasts to late-night dance floors. Whether you're hosting a garden marquee wedding, rustic barn celebration, or a city venue affair, offering a selection of well chosen beers ensures there's something for everyone.

Top 6 Popular Beers for Weddings

1. Birra Moretti

A crisp, light Italian lager with a 4.6% ABV, Birra Moretti is always a hit. Its smooth, balanced taste pairs perfectly with canapés, Italian dishes, grilled meats, or finger foods. Universally enjoyed and stylish without being fussy.

2. Guinness

For a touch of heritage and indulgence, Guinness delivers. Its rich, velvety texture and iconic creamy head add a premium touch to any bar setup. It’s a talking point and a comforting favourite especially in the cooler months.

3. Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Peroni’s crisp, dry finish and unmistakable branding make it a popular choice for elegant receptions. It’s light and stylish, often chosen for summer weddings and outdoor celebrations.

4. Camden Hells Lager

This modern London-brewed lager is gaining popularity among couples looking for something craft but approachable. It’s smooth, slightly malty, and perfect for all-day sipping.

5. Beavertown Neck Oil (Session IPA)

For hop lovers, Neck Oil offers a fruity, easy-drinking IPA that adds variety to your bar. At 4.3% ABV, it’s a good session choice that stands out from typical lagers.

6. Thatchers Gold (Cider bonus!)

Not technically a beer, but a golden cider is a must for many weddings. Thatchers Gold is refreshing, familiar, and perfect for those who prefer something a little sweeter or gluten-free.

Tips for Choosing Wedding Beers

• Balance the styles: Offer at least one lager, one ale or IPA, and a cider.
• Consider the food: Pair light lagers with summer buffets, or rich stouts with hearty dishes.
• Go seasonal: Crisp lagers for summer; richer beers like Guinness or amber ales for winter.
• Think about volume: Keg hire means fewer bottles, easier cleanup, and chilled pours all night.
