Zürich Bier Festival is the city’s headline date for international craft beer. It’s best approached as a tasting-led event—arrive early, pace yourself, and use public transport where possible.
The 12th edition for 24–25 April 2026 is held at Spirgarten (Neues Theater Spirgarten) in Zürich Altstetten. Opening hours are 16:00–00:00 on both Friday and Saturday, making it a perfect after-work start if you’re already in town. The venue sits on Lindenplatz (Badenerstrasse 681), with tram line 2 stopping right outside and Zürich Altstetten station a short walk away, so public transport is the easiest way in.
Expect a tasting-led atmosphere with plenty of time to explore different breweries across two evenings, then wrap up with late-night Zürich dining or a quick ride back to your hotel. If you’re travelling, book accommodation early and plan your return journey in advance.
