Paris Beer Festival is France’s leading celebration of craft brewing, held each May across the capital’s bars, breweries, and event spaces. Organized by Bière Parisienne, the festival showcases the creativity of French and international microbreweries through tastings, workshops, meet-the-brewer events, and a lively Grand Finale weekend featuring hundreds of beers on tap. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, bringing together beer enthusiasts, professionals, and newcomers to explore the growing world of artisanal brewing. Blending Parisian culture with craft innovation, the Paris Beer Festival is a must for anyone who loves good beer and good company.
