The Beer Festival in Saumur
A treat for hop lovers
Over the years, the Beer Festival has established itself as an unmissable event in the Saumur autumn. A memorable evening dedicated to beer, conviviality and Bavarian culture with no less than 1856 meals served at the table.
A celebration of brewing culture & gastronomy
The Saumur Beer Festival is a lively celebration of brewing culture, featuring many breweries. Foam lovers will have the choice of Krombacher and flavored Saint-Feuillen, Paulaner with or without lemon, non-alcoholic beer and other non-alcoholic drinks. All served at the bar, on tap and in a real glass mug.
In a friendly spirit around large tables, the menu consists of a beef cheek bourguignon in beer accompanied by a dauphinois gratin prepared by La Vallée du Clairay, a portion of cheese and a tartlet made with local apples. M. Baudouin by the Joseph bakery. This year, you can choose the vegetarian option: dauphinois and zucchini gratin.
Bavarian tradition dictates that we toast with the people who share our table: this is how we will hear the sounds of “Ein Prosit, ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit”! Toast to the joy of being together! A cult expression that will punctuate the meal every half hour.
Animations & Entertainment
In addition to tastings, the Beer Festival in Saumur offers various activities and entertainment to enhance the experience of festival-goers. The atmosphere will be provided by a popular orchestra, the greatest hits will rub shoulders with the latest musical trends and will flow into a 100% live energy. Throughout the evening, La Belle Famille will deliver a supercharged set to make you dance.
Take the Bavarian experience to its climax and opt for traditional outfits! The Dirndl for the ladies and the Lederhose for the gentlemen are the perfect outfits for partying in style. The competition still remains open to more or less eccentric costumes and disguises...
Visitors dressed in their best Bavarian outfit (or other...) will be rewarded:
- 1st prize: Gain your size in beer!
- 2nd batch: a case of Advent calendar beer
- 3rd batch: half a meter of wooden beer 8 x 33cl
Offered by Chope et Compagnie, one of the event’s partners.
Stock up on memories and immortalize your evening thanks to the Photocall and the photographers present for the occasion.
Fans (and novices) can compete at Beer Pong by trying to throw their ping-pong ball onto a table in order to land it in one of the cups.
