The festival takes place at The Embankment, with huge marquees set up to allow thousands of pints to be pulled over the week.
As is tradition, the festival opened with a session for trade representatives – before opening for everyone else on Tuesday evening.
This year there are dozens of breweries represented at the festival, with nearly 300 draught ales on offer – as well as a selection of bottled beers, key keg beers, gins, wines and other drinks.
There will also be the usual selection of food trucks, games and other stalls – and a great line up of local bands and musicians playing throughout the festival.
The Peterborough Beer Festival runs from Tuesday, August 19 until Saturday, August 23. For more information, a full list of beers, ticket prices and opening times, visit https://pborobeerfest.camra.org.uk/
