A beer festival near a train station is a great idea for a number of reasons. Firstly, it ensures that those travelling to the festival do not have to worry about having to drive and instead can rely on public transport, as they can easily access the festival via the train. This can help to reduce costs of getting to the event, and make it more accessible for a wider range of people. 

Secondly, having a beer festival near a train station can also be beneficial for those that have already attended the event. After a long day of beer tasting, being able to easily access public transport to return home can be extremely helpful and much safer since you should not drink and drive. It also means that those attending the festival can easily visit other nearby locations, or even venture further afield for a short break.

Remember whilst a beer festival can be fun, you should not drive after attending one, which is why attending a beer festival that is near a train station can make your life a lot easier. Whilst this is not a definitive list, it should contain all the major ones that will hopefully repeat next year as well.

Here are the 36 UK beer festivals from CAMRA and other independent companies that are closest to a train station:
