beer festivals
Hops-centric public gatherings
Beer festivals are organized events where attendees sample beers from multiple breweries, typically paying an admission fee that covers tastings.
They range from local craft beer gatherings to major international events like Munich's Oktoberfest.
Breweries often debut new releases at festivals, and competitions may award prizes for best entries: We tried twenty different IPAs at the beer festival.
