Isola Birra returns to Cagliari from July 3-5, 2026 for its twelfth edition, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated craft beer festivals among enthusiasts in Sardinia. Set in the enchanting pine grove of the Su Siccu seafront promenade, visitors will discover over 60 different beers from ten Italian breweries and a prestigious selection of producers from Franconia, Germany's premier beer-brewing region. An unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of quality craft beer, accompanied by delicious gastronomic offerings. Three intense days of activities await visitors: fascinating thematic workshops including 'Beer and Tradition: Sardinian Excellences Meet Craft Beer', 'A Journey Through Belgian Flavors' and 'Japan: Beer and Sake, Two Worlds, One Culture', accompanied by 45-minute guided tastings, live music and DJ sets. For the first time, the event will also host a natural wine bar from Quartu Sant'Elena, further expanding the food and wine offerings. Building on the success of last year's edition, which welcomed over 6,000 visitors, Isola Birra solidifies itself as a cornerstone event in Sardinia's calendar of gastronomy and beer culture celebrations.
