About Beergamo

Beergamo is born in Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII, in the province of Bergamo: the new Craft Beer Festival at the Palatenda in Piazza Santa Maria. For a weekend at the end of April, beer is the protagonist with labels from around the world, the best draft and bottled productions, the possibility to customize glasses and goblets, and a guided tasting workshop. An event for enthusiasts and the curious in the town that was the birthplace of Pope John XXIII.

Craft beer arrives in Sotto il Monte

Beergamo is the new Craft Beer Festival debuting in Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII, a municipality in the Isola Bergamasca area, in the Province of Bergamo. The event takes place at the Palatenda set up in Piazza Santa Maria and offers a weekend entirely dedicated to beer culture.

Beers from around the world, on tap and bottled

The program focuses on a selection of craft beers from various countries, with the best productions served on tap and in bottles. Among the offerings, there's the possibility to customize glasses and goblets, a detail designed for enthusiasts who want to take home a souvenir of the festival. There is also a guided tasting workshop, by reservation, to learn how to recognize styles and aromas.

Cuisine and conviviality

In addition to the pouring, the Palatenda hosts the catering service, also open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays, in a convivial atmosphere sheltered by the tent. The formula thus combines tasting, gastronomy, and socialising, in the tradition of beer festivals that liven up the Bergamo plain.

A debut in the Isola Bergamasca

For Sotto il Monte, a pilgrimage destination linked to the figure of Pope Roncalli, Beergamo represents a new event that expands the range of local events in the Isola area, alongside the historical events of the town and the local Pro Loco.

Beergamo โ€” edition 2026

The first edition of Beergamo takes place from April 24 to 26, 2026, at the Palatenda in Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII. Three days with craft beers from around the world on tap and bottled, customization of glasses and goblets, a tasting workshop on Saturday afternoon, and catering service also for lunch on the weekend.
