The propular event is taking placve at St Lawrence Parish Church this week, from Wednesday until Saturday.
To mark the event, the church's Father Adam Romanis visited the church on Friday to bless some of the beer as the casks were rolled and cooled.
Fr Romanis gave thanks for those that brewed the beer and prayed for the success of the festival, before examining some of the beers that will be available, including an IPA, Holy Trinity, brewed specially for the festival by the York-based Half Moon Brewery.
