About The Castle of Beer

Il Castello di Birra is the craft beer festival that brings selected producers and gastronomic pairings inside the medieval Rocca of Arzignano. Heir to the food and wine format of the village of Castello, it dedicates an entire weekend to the world of hops: craft taps, food stands, and the unique atmosphere of the Scaliger fortress. An event organized by the Comitato Sagra di Castello, in the heart of West Vicenza.

Craft beer conquers the Fortress

After wine, it's the turn of hops. In the same setting that hosts Il Castello DiVino, the Rocca of Castello di Arzignano โ€” an ancient Scaliger fortress in the province of Vicenza โ€” welcomes Il Castello di Birra, a festival dedicated to the world of craft beer and organized by the Comitato Sagra di Castello.

Selected producers and pairings

For an entire weekend, craft taps from selected producers invite you to discover different styles and flavors, from lighter and more refreshing beers to those with a bolder character. Accompanying the tastings is a gastronomic offering designed to enhance beer and food pairings.

Among medieval walls

What makes the event special is the setting: sipping a good craft beer inside a medieval fortress, among walls, panoramic views, and atmospheres of yesteryear. A young and convivial format that enriches the calendar of events at the Castello di Arzignano, enhancing the village and the entire municipality of Arzignano in West Vicenza.
