Norsk Kornolfestival 2024, Craft beer festival in Norway, October

Norsk Kornolfestival 2024

WHERE: Hornindal, Norway
WHEN: from 03rd to 06th October 2024

When the spectacular Norwegian landscapes meet the excellent local beer, it is time for the Norsk Kornolfestival, one of the October events not to be missed.
A festival that has rightly earned the compliments of the New York Times.

Password: tradition.
The protagonists are the craft beers that you can enjoy exclusively during the Festival. Many of these, in fact, are not marketed, and are produced according to ancient recipes, handed down from generation to generation. From father to son.

Not to be missed, above all, the beer made with kveik, a local yeast that gives the drinks a fruity aroma. They are produced at fermentation temperatures higher than those of normal beers.

In addition to tastings, you can attend interesting workshops, and listen to local producers. In the large hall set up inside the headquarters of the Norsk Kornolfestival, you will see a live demonstration of local beer production.
If you want to discover Norway, October is a good time. While you’re at it, try taking a trip to this beer festival: you won’t regret it.
