Seville’s Aljarafe region is gearing up to welcome its traditional International Beer Festival, the 12th edition of an event inspired by Oktoberfest. The popular Bavarian celebration will kick off on Friday, September 11, and continue throughout the weekend in Sanlúcar la Mayor.
One of the most anticipated culinary events of September transforms the La Corredera fairgrounds into the province’s beer capital.
A massive bar stocked with beer and large tables with benches in true German style will be set up at the venue, which will feature dozens of counters and beer taps.
In short,enough capacity to serve around 20,000 liters of international beer.
15 taps and beers from around the world
For this twelfth edition, the venue will feature 15 beer taps serving some of the most acclaimed international brands in the brewing industry, accompanied by a wide selection of beers available by third-liter and by the bottle.
Attendees can choose to have their drink served in a glass, a bottle, or the traditional German-style mug.
As is tradition, the festival is organized by the Hermandad de la Soledad in collaboration with the local City Council, maintaining the charitable and festive spirit that has established it as a must-attend event on the provincial calendar.
