There's a virtual beer festival taking place next month, with a dozen beers delivered to your door

Beer fans will be facing a very different summer this year, with pubs still closed and no beer festivals in the diary.

One company has decided to try and fill that void by launching a virtual beer festival.

It's got all the usual components you'd expect from such an event, adapted for our current locked-down world.

Top-end beers and a branded festival glass will be delivered to your door ahead of the event, with sessions taking place over two days.

Over the course of a four-hour live stream, there will be tastings, brewery tours, quizzes and other fun from breweries across the globe.

Your ticket will get you 12 beers, the glass, and a beer guide, ready for the live stream on the Beer 52 YouTube channel.

It's the second time that Beer52's Cyber Fest has taken place, with the first selling out in a matter of hours and attracting 20,000 viewers.

Breweries confirmed for Cyber Fest 2 include Lost & Grounded, Pomona Island, La Trappe, Dougall's, and Dogma, with more to be announced.

Sessions will take place on Friday June 5 and Saturday June 6, with the option to buy a weekend pass if you fancy a two-day festival experience in your home.

Orders will be shipped starting from May 25 to arrive in plenty of time.

At the time of writing, there's an early bird discount available, meaning tickets cost just £34.99 per session - the price includes a dozen beers.

The craft beer club hopes that the virtual festivals will help to support breweries through the coming months.
