Every September, the glass-walled Pabellón de Cristal in Casa de Campo fills with the smell of hops for Beermad, Madrid's craft beer festival. Over one weekend, more than fifty breweries pour upward of 170 different beers for a crowd that ranges from curious first-timers to dedicated homebrewers.
What it is
Beermad brings together Spanish and international craft breweries under one roof, each staffing its own stand and pouring a rotating selection of styles — from pale ales and IPAs to stouts and barrel-aged specialties. Beyond the tasting, the festival runs guided tasting sessions and brewing workshops for visitors who want to go deeper than a casual pour.
Food comes from around fifteen food trucks set up alongside the beer stands, covering everything from burgers to more elaborate street food to pair with the different styles on offer. Weekend mornings are set aside for children's activities, making the festival workable as a family outing before the afternoon and evening sessions shift toward a more adult crowd.
Why it's worth attending
Few events in Madrid put this many independent breweries in one place at the same time, making it an efficient way to try beers that otherwise turn up one bar at a time across the city. The glass pavilion setting in Casa de Campo also gives the festival more space and natural light than a typical indoor beer hall, and the mix of guided tastings and brewing workshops gives it more depth than a straightforward drinking event.
Practical info
The Pabellón de Cristal sits inside Casa de Campo park, reachable by metro lines 6 and 10 to Casa de Campo station, with underground parking available near Avenida de Portugal. Saturday runs in two separate sessions, morning and evening, so check which one a ticket covers before arriving.
