The Maine Beer Box, a project of the Maine Brewers’ Guild, landed this week in the United Kingdom, in time for its appearance at the Leeds International Beer Festival. The custom-made shipping container filled with Maine craft beer last went to Iceland in March, part of a multi-year effort to expose the state’s brewing industry to international markets.

The Maine Beer Box in Leeds was loaded with over 400 kegs from 65 Maine craft breweries, carrying 78 varieties ranging from New England IPAs to sour ales, and included an oyster infused stout and spruce pine ale.

The beer box is slated to take a center role in the 7th annual Leeds International Beer Festival from Sept. 6-9. The festival draws over 12,000 attendees to Yorkshire.

The effort was launched with a promotional video highlighting Maine craft breweries.
