Why

Ipsum Vinoteca, in cooperation with Italyabroad.com, brings together in a unique setting, exceptional brewers and beer lovers, showcasing a selection of Italian craft beers from small, award winning breweries and passionate brewers, representing the whole of Italy, from north to south. The celebration of Italian craft beers exposes beer lovers to the limitless diversity and outstanding quality of the Italian craft brewing industry and showcases why Italian beer, still wrongly associated with Peroni or Moretti, is currently one of the biggest and most exciting craft beer movements but still relatively unknown, still an Italian affair.

Thanks to Ipsum Vinoteca and Italyabroad.com, some of those beers are coming to Leeds before any other UK festival. The festival will showcase:

• Special edition beers
• Beer competitions
• Beer base made desserts including our unique Chestnut beer tiramisu and Dark beer ice cream
• Italian street food, including our unique recipe "arrosticini", the same that sold out every night at the Moretti event
