About Clermont Bière Fest
The Clermont Bière Fest was the craft beer festival of Clermont-Ferrand, organized by Clermont Auvergne Events (part of the GL Events group) in partnership with L'Empire du Malt. It ran for only two editions: November 15-16, 2024, at the Grande Halle d'Auvergne in Cournon-d'Auvergne, and September 26-27, 2025, at the Polydome in Clermont-Ferrand. The event brought together regional and national craft breweries for tastings, food and beer pairing workshops, food trucks, a Friday night DJ set, and an Oktoberfest party on Saturday. Its cancellation was announced in the spring of 2026; no further editions are scheduled.
Clermont Bière Fest — edition 2026
The Clermont Bière Fest will not be holding a third edition. The craft beer festival has come to an end after two editions: one in November 2024 at the Grande Halle d'Auvergne in Cournon-d'Auvergne, and another on September 26 and 27, 2025, at the Polydome in Clermont-Ferrand. The cancellation was made public in the spring of 2026, and no events are scheduled for September 25 and 26, 2026.
ℹ️ 2026 edition cancelled: the festival comes to an end
The Clermont Bière Fest will not be hosting a third edition in September 2026. The decision was made public in the spring of 2026; local media outlet En Vrai Auvergne announced on April 3, 2026: "It is official: the Clermont Bière Fest is coming to an end after two editions that brought together enthusiasts, brewers, and the curious to celebrate beer culture."
The schedule for Clermont Auvergne Events, which operates the Polydome and organized the festival, does not include any dates for the Clermont Bière Fest. At the Polydome, the Sustainable Territorial Mobility Summit is taking place on September 22 and 23, 2026, and the venue has no further events listed until October 3.
The website clermontbierefest.fr is no longer associated with the festival. Since 2026, the domain has been managed by the company Webzence, which publishes a magazine about craft beer and states that it does not announce any events. The festival's former pages (ticketing, activities, practical information) now return a 404 error.
The only two editions held were on November 15 and 16, 2024, at the Grande Halle d'Auvergne in Cournon-d'Auvergne, and on September 26 and 27, 2025, at the Polydome. Details regarding their content (breweries, food and beer pairing workshops, food trucks, Oktoberfest evening) can be found on the festival's archive page.
