The thirteenth edition of Italy Beer Week is at the starting ribbons: from March 20 to 26, throughout Italy, the widespread event dedicated to craft beer<\/b> returns with hundreds of initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An evolution of the “Craft Beer Week” begun in 2011 and organized by Cronache di Birra, a web magazine and newspaper, Italy Beer Week is open to pubs, restaurants, and breweries all over the Belpaese, <\/b>which can independently report their own initiatives that go into the calendar of the event. There will also be no shortage of activities organized by Italy Beer Week and its partners, as well as online events.<\/p>\n\n\nOpening Italy Beer Week<\/h2>\n
Once again, the Debutante Ball, the inaugural event of Italy Beer Week, will be held the weekend before. On March 18 and 19, Open Baladin venues in Rome and Turin will host the premiere presentation of 13 new beers.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n
“With the Debutante Ball on the weekend before Italy Beer Week, we traditionally kick off the event. This year the live event will be held for the first time simultaneously in two cities, at the Open Baladin in Rome and Turin,” says Andrea Turco, editor of Cronache di Birra.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who cannot reach Rome or the Piedmontese capital will still have a chance to taste the “debutants.” A special box containing the unreleased beers can be purchased on the 1001Birre website.<\/b> To taste them with the brewers who made them, four live online broadcasts are planned on the Italy Beer Week Facebook page, to be held between March 20 and 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
