And, just to not miss anything, you will also find a wide selection of soft drinks, local wine and even tea and coffee. The most demanding and those who suffer from particular intolerances, can choose from a wide selection of gluten-free beers and vegan beers.

You will find, as usual, numerous RES Beers, that is, beers of Great Reserve and quality. On Saturday evening, about a hundred beers offered exclusively for the occasion. Like any good self-respecting Beer Festival, there will be live musical performances, and a vast gastronomic selection, with local specialties scattered among the various stands.
