BirrainBorgo is the festival that transforms Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino into a capital of craft beer during the Campania summer. From August 21-24, 2026, winding through the historic village nestled in the Monti Lattari mountains, this event celebrates the art of beer-making with a curated selection of Italian and international craft beers, each with its own identity and story to tell. It's more than just a craft beer festival—it's an immersive experience where the Campania region engages with contemporary creativity and European beer traditions. The most innovative craft breweries showcase their creations, offering guided tastings and demonstrations of ancestral and modern brewing techniques. Alongside tastings, the village comes alive with Campania street food reimagined with gourmet flair: artisanal sandwiches with local meats, crispy fried traditions, savoury sfogliatelle pastries and food and wine specialties that highlight Campania's authentic flavours. The event embraces cultural and artistic dimensions too, with live music, theatrical performances and urban installations that enhance historic spaces, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. BirrainBorgo represents the most dynamic and authentic South: an opportunity to discover how passion for craft beer becomes a vehicle for territorial rediscovery, local economy and conviviality. Perfect for those seeking a sensory weekend in historic villages where every toast celebrates the territory, its people and Italian and international beer excellence.
