For something different from a hall-based festival, Bier Zug turns beer tasting into a full-day rail adventure. It’s best approached as a tasting-led event—arrive early, pace yourself, and use public transport where possible.
The 2026 edition runs on 2 May 2026, starting and finishing at Murten station. The trip lasts around 7–8 hours, travelling through the 3-Lakes region and pairing the journey with multiple beer tastings and set food inclusions. Departure is at 10:25am with a return at 6.06pm.
It’s a good pick if you enjoy structured experiences and want to combine countryside scenery with guided sampling, all without needing to drive. Murten’s compact lakeside centre makes a pleasant base before or after the event. If you’re travelling, book accommodation early and plan your return journey in advance.
