Andrew Ferguson, owner of the farm and brewery, said: "I’m immensely proud of Dummer Down Brewery, which we opened just three years ago.
"Since that time, it has grown in popularity.
"We host many events and local festivals supporting the local community like the annual Beastly Scouts event, Viking Festival, Vanlife Eats, Good Festival, folks festivals and much more.
"There is no longer a local beer festival in Basingstoke, and I want to support as many local craft breweries as I can.
"This year’s event will promote local breweries and provide a fun and enjoyable experience for attendees."
The event will run from 2pm to 10pm, with camping available for those who want to stay overnight.
The brewery recently unveiled a new courtyard garden designed by award-winning TV personalities The Rich Brothers, who will be present at the festival to discuss their design.
The line-up of breweries includes Siren Craft Brew, Flowerpots Brewery, Ten Tun Tap House, Elusive Brewing, Mysterious Brewing Company, and Double-Barrelled Brewery.
Cider will be supplied by Hydes Cyder.
Live music will come from The Guildford Blue Grass Band and local duo Five Leaves Left.
Dummer Down Brewery is located just off the A30, near Junction 7 of the M3/A303.
Tickets for the event are available via Eventbrite.
