Clermont Bière Fest

Clermont Bière Fest: Craft Beer in the Spotlight at the Polydome

Every late September, the Polydome in Clermont-Ferrand hosts the Clermont Bière Fest, a festival dedicated to craft beer. Organized by Clermont Auvergne Events in partnership with L'Empire du Malt, this event has become the unmissable gathering for craft beer enthusiasts in the Clermont metropolitan area.

Over Twenty Craft Breweries

The festival brings together over twenty craft breweries from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and all over France, offering an impressive diversity of beers:

• Blondes and Brunettes: classics revisited by craft brewers
• IPAs: hoppy and aromatic India Pale Ales
• Stouts: dark beers with roasted aromas
• Seasonal Beers: ephemeral creations and original blends
• Local Beers: productions from Auvergne breweries

Tastings and Workshops

Clermont Bière Fest is not limited to tasting. A rich program of food and beer pairing workshops, led by experts, allows visitors to discover gustatory associations between craft beers and gastronomy. These educational workshops are for both connoisseurs and novices.

Catering and Food Trucks

Selected food trucks offer quality catering that complements the brewing universe:

• Truffade: the emblematic dish of Auvergne
• Burgers: gourmet and artisanal burgers
• Choucroute: the classic beer accompaniment
• And other street food specialties

Two Festive Evenings

Each edition offers two musical evenings:

• Friday evening: DJ set for a relaxed atmosphere
• Saturday evening: grand Oktoberfest party with live concert, such as the band LMZG (electro-swing) for a memorable dancing night

An Accessible and Friendly Festival

Located at the Polydome, in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand and accessible by tram, the festival is open to families with free entry for those under 18. The atmosphere is intended to be friendly and festive, inviting discovery and sharing around craft beer.
