Groningen has a new beer festival richer. On June 23 and 24, the grain silo grounds in the city of Bierfestival 050. The beer festival is all about tasting the tastiest beers at breweries from the province of Groningen.
Groningen beer culture
”Groningen has a rich history of local breweries. As early as the 17th century, dozens of breweries were active, especially in the city of Groningen. Groningen therefore has more beer culture than most people think”.
And that is precisely the reason why we want to organize this beer festival, says co-organizer Pieter Kuizenga of Bierfestival 050. “It is super cool how many nice breweries and nice beers can be found in the province of Groningen. It is therefore our mission to keep the Groningen beer culture alive and to let as many people as possible get to know these breweries even better while enjoying a nice beer”.
Local breweries
The breweries Bax beer, Martinus, grain silo, The Crazy Calf, From Prael, riding a Hoogkerk brewery will be included in this first edition. “They are all beautiful breweries that complement each other beautifully at this festival. We deliberately choose to keep the number of breweries somewhat low, which gives the festival a slightly more personal touch. The festival will therefore mainly focus on delicious tasting and therefore above all enjoying and you might discover your new favorite beer at Bierfestival 050,” says Kuizenga.
Beer festival 050 will take place on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 June 2023. Tickets are available for Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening via: www.bierfestival050.nl
