Italian Beer Festival

[goingmad]

I had a great sunday today!

1) Visited the Italian (craft) Beer Festival in Milan
2) Had a beer with some friends in the afternoon watching my soccer team winning in tv
3) Had a nice dinner in a lovely place with local food and at least a dozen craft beers available, draft and bottled.

I'd like to share with you some images of the Festival. Btw, craft beer market share is still low in Italy, around 1.2%, since it's quite young compared to other countries.

Questions? Feel free to ask!

Beers quite good, I've tried 4-5 different ones. Weiss, stout and Ale

Good idea to come to visit Italy, do you already know the areas you're going to go?
