THE biggest brewery beer garden in Brighton is set to open for the first time next week.

Brighton Bier Brewery in Roedean Road is opening an outdoor space with capacity for 70 people next Friday, April 16.

The sun-trap beer garden not far from the seafront will have plenty of socially distanced seating and colourful urban art from Brighton-based graffiti artist Aroe.

The award-winning brewery will be serving its original craft beers and there will be a series of street food pop-ups from around the city serving food there every weekend.

Groups of six will be able to book a table for one, two or three hour slots, with 30 per cent of seating reserved for walk-in customers.

As restrictions continue to ease and indoor seating becomes a possibility in May, brewery tours and tastings will kick off once more.

The brewery's new taproom will also be expanded, and cater for more than 100 people.

The beer garden will be open on Fridays between 5pm and 10pm and between noon and 10pm on weekends.
