Beer samples are purchased using beer coupons, which can be purchased via card or swish in the main entrance. A booklet of 10 coupons costs 250kr and a beer sample can vary in size up to 10cl. Umeå Beer Festival is a cashless event.
The age limit for the festival is 18+ and ID will be required at the entrance. Tickets are not personal and can be transferred to another adult.
Umeå Beer Festival is a strong supporter of diversity and co-operation. We welcome all genders, ages and nationalities to our festival. Intolerance, bullying or discrimination will not be tolerated and will result in offenders being removed from the festival. We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcomed in the festival, and we look forward to a relaxed event with diversity and fun for everyone.

We are proud to announce that we will also have an alcohol free bar, sponsored by Spendrups, from where every guest will be given one free sample.
Tastings
We will be holding tastings and workshops during the festival.
Tickets for these events are sold seperately and are not included in the price of the entrance ticket. To attend one of the tastings or workshops, you need an entrance ticket for any of the sessions.
For example, you can attend a tasting or workshop on the Friday even if you have a festival entrance ticket for the Saturday or vice versa.
