Beer Festival (1091 Beer Festival)

On the slopes of the Tosco-Romagnolo Apennines, in the small village of Balze at 1,091 metres above sea level, one of the most eagerly awaited events for Italian craft beer lovers comes to life. The 1091 Beer Festival, organised by the Pro Loco di Balze, celebrates its annual appointment on the weekend of 1-2 August 2026, transforming Piazza XVII Luglio into a convivial arena where you can discover the excellence of national beer craftsmanship. Since 2009, this festival has been a unique opportunity to taste craft beers hand-picked by the master brewers who will be present on site. This is far more than a simple exhibition: the producers, with passion and expertise, will share the secrets of their craft, illustrating every phase from recipe creation to the perfect pour. A complete immersion into the world of craft beer, rooted in local territory and tradition. The convivial atmosphere of the event is completed by carefully curated food offerings, with dishes designed to enhance pairings with the diverse beers on offer. At 1,091 metres altitude, surrounded by mountain air and Romagnol hospitality, the festival invites you to discover that the true celebration is one shared in good company.
