Beer Fest Montemiletto

A beer festival in the heart of Irpinia

Beer Fest Montemiletto is the late-September event that transforms the town of Montemiletto, in the province of Avellino, into a lively hub dedicated to craft beer. The festival is promoted by the AMIP Eventi e Mercati association with the patronage of the local municipal administration and spans three consecutive days, featuring beer taps, local cuisine, and live music.

The concept behind the event is simple and deeply rooted in Campania: bringing together craft brewing culture, fine food, and entertainment in an accessible setting with a strong community spirit. It is not a niche festival for connoisseurs, but a town celebration where a pint becomes a reason for different generations to meet.

Craft beer and local cuisine

The heart of the Beer Fest is the beer tap area, complemented by food stalls offering dishes designed to pair with various beer styles. Fried snacks, sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and specialties of traditional Irpinian cuisine define the evenings, while guests move freely between counters, communal tables, and the stage.

• Selection of craft beers on tap
• Food stalls and street food
• Outdoor seating areas for dining and drinking
• Exhibition spaces for producers and vendors, available by reservation through the organizing association

Live music every night

The musical program is one of the key ingredients that has helped the event grow. Each evening features live musical performances and entertainment, with bands and cover acts playing a mix of Italian and international hits. The 2025 edition hosted an evening dedicated to the greatest hits of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as a tribute concert to Vasco Rossi by the official cover band Anima Spericolata.

An event designed for families

Alongside the beer and concerts, the Beer Fest reserves space for children, with attractions and entertainment that make the event suitable for the whole family. The format, with late afternoon openings on weekdays and all-day service on Sunday, allows visitors to drop by for an aperitif or stay for the entire evening.

Montemiletto and the event season

Montemiletto is a village in Irpinia that enjoys a particularly rich event season: from summer patronal celebrations to cultural festivals promoted by the municipality and local associations, to the historical re-enactment organized by the Pro Loco. The Beer Fest serves as the closing event of this calendar, when the air turns crisp and the festivities naturally gather around the beer counters.

For those visiting the province of Avellino, the event is also a chance to discover a hilly landscape known for its wines and gastronomic traditions, located just a short distance from Avellino and easily accessible from the main routes of inland Campania.

Practical information

Admission to the festival area is free; beer and food are paid for at the individual stalls. The organization provides exhibition spaces for interested operators, which can be booked by contacting the AMIP association. Dates and programs for each edition are announced through the event's social media channels and local Irpinian news portals.
