Birritala

The craft beer festival of Osio Sotto

Birritala is the festival dedicated to craft beer in Osio Sotto, a town in the Bassa bergamasca region, province of Bergamo. The event takes place at the Bosco dell'Itala, on Via Olmetta, and focuses on craft breweries from the region, with full pints, street food, and live music in a green area.

Breweries from the region

The heart of the festival are the local microbreweries, which in recent editions have included Lemine, the agribrewery Sguaraunda, Brasseria della Palude, and Mia Mal. The selection highlights the craft brewing scene of the province, alongside street food stalls.

Music and art

Birritala is also a music festival: the program alternates live concerts and DJ sets, with bands from the local independent scene and projects like "Canta Indie Canta Male", as well as installations and moments dedicated to art. Some editions have also introduced spaces for discussions on innovation and digital technologies.

A festival by the Youth Council

The event is organized by the Youth Council of Osio Sotto, in collaboration with the Municipality's youth policies department. It is an event born from the initiative of the town's young people and has grown to become one of the most recognizable summer events in the local calendar.
