The Barcelona Beer Festival is the largest event in southern Europe for craft beer lovers. The beers are presented in a large bar with taps in which the approximately 400 beers that are presented in each edition rotate. You will also find stands that correspond to collaborations with other international festivals.
The Barcelona Beer Festival also organizes various activities (tastings, confessions, debates, meetings with brewers, concerts and much more), professional conferences (InnBrew) and the Barcelona Beer Challenge, the biggest competition in which the best beers brewed during the year are awarded. And if you have any doubts about which beers to try, the Beer Informers of the organization will help you choose. They are easy to find, dressed in a yellow vest.
