Hopfig is Aarau’s dedicated craft beer weekend in the city’s Markthalle. It’s best approached as a tasting-led event—arrive early, pace yourself, and use public transport where possible.
The dates are set for 29–30 May 2026, giving travellers an easy late-spring reason to stop in the Aargau capital. The organiser-linked listing frames the event as a concentrated tasting programme, bringing breweries together under one roof in a central venue. Aarau sits on key rail lines between Zürich and Basel, so it’s straightforward to visit as a day trip or to add as a one-night detour during a Swiss rail itinerary. With two days on the calendar, you can choose the session that fits your plans best and keep the rest of your weekend free for exploring the Aare riverside and the historic old town. If you’re travelling, book accommodation early and plan your return journey in advance.
