Once again, beer fans from near and far are invited to Burgdorf’s Markthalle for two days of savouring and celebrating beer in all its facets at this year’s edition of Let it Beer. You’ll see well-known breweries such as Platzhirsch Burgdorfer Bier as well as smaller craft beer breweries from the region and from abroad, offering everything from beer classics like lager, amber and wheat bear to more recent favourites such as pale ales, IPAs and sour beers.

And you’ll get to take a look behind the scenes: in conversations with brewers, visitors can learn all about hops, malt and the fine differences between different types of beers. You’ll also have the opportunity to test your knowledge at a beer tasting and discover new aromas.

When thirst gives way to hunger, stop by the food stalls where you’ll find Argentinian empanadas, Japanese gyoza, Philly cheese steak and many more international specialities.

Whether you’re a beer buff or an amateur connoisseur, Let it Beer is perfect for discovering and enjoying Bern’s diverse beer culture!
