The Pre-Opening Party takes place on Thursday, April 23, 2026
The doors are opening at 4pm at the Taproom of the Brewery Oerlikon.
What can I expect at the party?
- Many brewers are already in Zurich. So if you want to exchange ideas with brewers like Messorem before the festival, then this is the opportunity
- There are smaller tap takeovers from the breweries taking part in the festival
- A cozy warm-up for the festival with lots of brewers, good beer and an even better atmosphere.
