“Before COVID-19 struck, we at Untappd had been busy making plans for our first European Beer Festival. At the time, we never imagined that we’d be taking it virtual, but the pandemic has shown us all what’s possible when we are flexible and creative,” said Talia Spera, Vice President of Festivals & Live Events for Untappd. “Our European users have always been enthusiastic in their support of Untappd and their love of beer. We are thrilled to be able to provide this unique experience to connect in a way that is fun, engaging and, most importantly, safe.”

This event follows the success of Untappd’s first Virtual Beer Festival based in the US, which sold out of available ticket packages in just one week. In addition to five feature beer tastings per day, the festival will include brewmaster interviews and open Q&A’s, live bands, brewery tours, and more. Breweries participating in the event include Other Half Brewing Co., Neon Raptor Brewing Co., Lervig, Garage Beer Co., SingleCut Beersmiths, Põhjala, Brasserie de la Senne, Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers, Omnipollo and Koninklijke Grolsch.

“At Beer Merchants, we’re excited to be a part of this creative festival in partnership with Untappd. It’s a great opportunity to use what we do best, shipping and fulfillment, to provide a means for beer lovers to take part in an interactive event like this,” said Ben Selby, Operations Manager at Beer Merchants. “Getting together over a beer is something we all miss these days and we’re proud to help provide a way to recreate that type of social interaction.”
