Festival of Heretic Brewers

The 13th edition of the Heretic Brewers took place from May 23 to 25, 2025 at Parco del DLF, via Serlio 25/2 in Bologna. As tradition dictates, the invited publicans selected the beers to present for a total of 100 taps: among the participating pubs were Lortica, Harvest Pub, Madama Beerstrò, Astral Beers, La Frasca, Ranzani 13, Mezzo Pieno, Old Spirit, and the welcome return of Drunken Duck.

Among the novelties of this edition was sake, alongside the established Wine Corner with natural wines selected by Lortica and the Sour Corner featuring beers from Arrogant Pub. The gastronomic offer ranged from boiled meat sandwiches to Vietnamese specialties, as well as pizza and burgers, while pop-up events and shows for children animated the days. Admission was free, with the official glass available for purchase at the ticket booths for 5 euros, and payments possible via tokens or Satispay.
