City centre kult koffee venue 6/8 Kafe on Temple Row (at the back of Rackhams aka House of Fraser) have finally had the mass of scaffolding removed from its frontage.

To celebrate this unveiling, and the installation of a permanent 6 pump craft beer bar, they’re running a mini beer festival at the cafe from 10th to 12th November.

Festival organiser and proprietor Dav said:

“Our festival is about enjoying local beer WITH the amazing people that make them.

“It’s about tasting, learning, and enjoying everything about craft beer.

“On Friday we are having a “Meet the Brewer” session with Twisted Barrel. They will be launching their annual winter special “Dark Knight Rises” a Belgian Dubbel at Six Eight.

“On Saturday we are welcoming two Black country brewers, Sacre Brew and Fixed Wheel.

“Throughout the festival we will have live acoustic musicians, and we are working with Stufo, the Digbeth Dining Club favourites to provide fantastic food everyone can enjoy!”
