Craft beer event 'Rock City & Friends 2026' returns

In 2018, the doors opened for the first time following a successful crowdfunding campaign. Since then, the crowdfunding has been fully repaid to all investors, friends, and family. This year, the brewers are celebrating this with even more flavor, experience, and pride. Rock City & Friends revolves around what makes craft beer truly special: enjoyment, experience, and friendship. Many well-known partner breweries are returning, but the lineup is even bigger this year. Alongside familiar names like Lineman (IRE), Ten Hands, and Shapes & Objects (SE), new faces are also eager to tap their beers. From the American brewers of Tripping Animals and Wild East to the Canadian brewers of Fine Balance and Wills Brewing. In total, there are more than eighteen partner breweries from all over the world present, with the brewers themselves behind the tap.

Visitors can grill the makers about their techniques, recipes, and adventures. The lineup of local entrepreneurs and artisans has also been expanded. In addition to immortalizing this special weekend at the returning tattoo corner by Bold & Bright, you can also book an appointment with Isa van Koppel Barbershop to get your beard perfectly trimmed, naturally with a craft beer in hand. Meanwhile, the chef will be providing delicious BBQ bites with the large smoker and charcoal grill that pair perfectly with a good glass of beer. Previous editions were completely sold out in the presale, and anyone who still wanted to get in had to resort to TicketSwap. Interest seems high again this year. Already dubbed 'the best craft beer event of the year' by various beer platforms, this edition promises to be another special weekend. If you want to be there, don't wait too long to buy your ticket.
