Gargano Beer Fest

Gargano Beer Fest 2025 — The First Edition

The first edition of the Gargano Beer Fest debuted on July 4 and 5, 2025, in Piazza Sandro Pertini in Peschici, at the initiative of Vincenzo Ottaviano and the Birra del Gargano brewery. The lineup featured beers from five Puglian microbreweries: Birra del Gargano (Peschici), Delta Esse (Andria), Caput Ursi (Cellamare), Lieviteria (Castellana Grotte), and Birranova (Triggianello).

Each evening began at 6:00 PM with two free Unionbirrai workshops (history and culture of beer; beer and travel) followed by live concerts: on July 4, the Ciro Iannacone Blues Band and a vinyl DJ set by DJ Zaio; on July 5, the Baia Zaiana full band with Giargo in Arte and the b2b Mr Lab & Matteo DC. To complete the evenings, there was seafood street food and ice cream with Gargano citrus-based drinks.
