There are around 15 craft breweries in Bristol; Arbor, Dawkins, Tapestry, Moor, Good Chem, Bristol Beer Factory and New Bristol Brewery to name a few. This good-natured rivalry has fostered a community-focused beer scene that attracts punters from all over. Their notorious annual Bristol beer week involves activities like the ‘East Bristol Beer Trail’ where punters follow a trail situated between Temple Meads and Lawrence Hill stations whereby customers get the chance to explore different local independent Bristol breweries and sample a variety of different craft beers. This exciting and vibrant culture is one of the cities biggest attractions, to the extent customers can pick up a Bristol Craft Beer Map from the Bristol tourist office which lists 39 different pubs and 16 different breweries that tourists are encouraged to visit. 

King St in itself is one the largest attractions in Bristol, being the most densely pub populated street in England it attracts an assortment of individuals, whether you are looking for a pub crawl, casual drink or just to simply sample the infamous beer scene in Bristol.
