The festival dedicated to craft beer in the historic centre of Bolzano

One of the most charming venues in Bolzano's cultural landscape is getting ready to host a new edition of the event dedicated to one of the oldest beverages known to humankind: beer.

On the weekend of May 16 and 17, the beautiful setting of Castel Mareccio—nestled in Bolzano’s historic center and surrounded by ancient walls and vineyards—will welcome Beer Craft – International Craft Beer Meeting.

Since 2015, it has become a must-attend event for all enthusiasts of hops, malt, and signature craft brews. This unique festival transforms the castle into a lively meeting point for tasters, brewers, and curious visitors eager to explore the art of craft beer making in an elegant and distinctive atmosphere.

The festival will feature national and international master brewers, ready to showcase both their most innovative creations and timeless classics. Whether you prefer citrusy notes or a full-bodied beer, there’s something here to satisfy every palate.

In addition to tastings of a wide range of beer styles, industry experts will engage visitors with insights into brewing techniques, ingredients, and current trends in the beer world. It’s a great opportunity to discover South Tyrol’s brewing tradition and the dedication behind the “Qualità Alto Adige” label.

The event will be more than just a tasting journey—it’s also a celebration of South Tyrolean hospitality. Live music and entertainment will bring extra energy to the festival, creating an authentic and engaging experience.

Tickets are available at Castel Mareccio for €25.00, which includes entry, a tasting glass, and 7 tokens redeemable at the various exhibitor stands.
