Food line-up announced for Beer Central Festival in Birmingham

Beer Central Festival has announced the complete food line-up for the Birmingham event.

Brad Carter of Carters of Moseley will be at the two-day event for the inaugural festival that will bring the best in beer, food and music to 119 in Digbeth.

Birmingham-born chef Brad, who has appeared on television’s Saturday Kitchen, will be demonstrating the culinary skills that earned him a prestigious Michelin Star in 2016 at Carters of Moseley.

On Friday and Saturday night, Brad will be grilling and smoking a variety of meat, seafood and other seasonal ingredients using two specially created grills.

The ingredient-led menu has been carefully designed to pair perfectly with beers from two of his favourite breweries, The Kernel and Braybrooke.

The food line-up also includes award-winning burger purveyors Original Patty Men, who opened their restaurant in Digbeth in 2015 after starting on the street food scene, and Baked in Brick, the most celebrated street food pop-up in the UK.

The music line-up will feature a DJ set by Kaiser Chiefs members Nick 'Peanut' Baines and Simon Rix, followed by performances from DJ Yoda, Hip Hop Karaoke and Ultimate Power at the weekend event.

Greg Wells, co-founder of We Are Beer, said: “We’re super excited to present a Michelin-starred chef as part of the food line-up for Beer Central.

"We’re super proud to host Brad and ‘Best Street Food Trader in Europe’ Lee DeSanges from Baked in Brick at the first Beer Central Festival.

"They along with street food kings Original Patty Men means we’ll be showcasing the breadth and best of what Birmingham’s food scene has to offer.”
