Get your wellies ready and mark your calendars—Knockengorroch Festival is back from 22–25 May 2025, and it’s set to be one unforgettable celebration of music, culture, and yes… brilliant Scottish beer.
At Williams Bros Brewing we’ve been partners of the Knockengorroch Festival since the very first year in 1998. We’re buzzing to announce that this partnership will continue at Knockengorroch 2025!
As a proud Independent Brewery with deep Scottish roots, we’re bringing our craft, character, and award-winning pints to the party.
More Than Just a Festival
For those who’ve never been, Knockengorroch isn’t just another music festival.
Nestled in the stunning hills of Galloway, it’s a melting pot of global sounds, traditional Celtic vibes, and earthy, eco-conscious energy.
It’s where you can dance your heart out by a roaring fire one moment and catch an intimate folk session in a tent the next.
And this year, between the drum circles and didgeridoos, you’ll find something equally soulful flowing from the taps: a handpicked selection of Williams Bros’ finest brews.
Williams Bros at Knockengorroch
This isn’t our first festival rodeo.
Williams Bros Brewing has been crafting unique Scottish beers for over three decades, and we know a thing or two about bringing people together over a pint.
Our beers are steeped in tradition but brewed with a modern twist—just like the festival itself.
Expect to see the main festival bar in the Fraoch Cabaret Tent (named after one of our most popular Scottish beers) stocked with favourites like:
-
Caesar Augustus – a lager/IPA hybrid for those who like the best of both worlds
-
Joker IPA – a hoppy legend with just the right bite
-
Birds & Bees - a bright golden ale with hints of elderflower
-
Fraoch Heather Ale - a light amber ale and our original Scottish beer
-
Seven Giraffes - a deep gold IPA with caramel and citrus tones
-
Craft Lager - An easy drinking, cold fermented lager
-
Knock Ale - Golden Dandelion Ale made exclusively for the Knockengorroch Festival
We’ll also be bringing a range of cans to suit every palate.
Why It Matters
There’s something powerful about festivals supporting local and independent businesses, and Williams Bros Brewing is a gem of the Scottish beer scene.
Our presence at Knockengorroch isn’t just about selling pints—it’s about community, sustainability, and celebrating the best of what Scotland has to offer.
So when you’re chilling by the main stage, soaking up the sounds of global grooves and the buzz of happy festival goers, make sure you raise your glass (or reusable cup!) to the Williams Bros team.
We’ll be working to keep the good vibes, and Scottish beer, flowing.
See You There?
Whether you’re a Knock regular or a first-time reveller, 2025 is shaping up to be a cracker of a year.
Tickets are flying, tents are being dusted off, and the beers from our independent brewery are chilling as we speak.
We’ll see you in the glen - Slàinte mhath!
