Pils & Love Festival

Venture on an extraordinary journey into the world of Pilsner at Pils & Love. Agostino Arioli, the visionary owner of Birrificio Italiano, will be traveling from Italy to share his passion for Pilsners at this special event in the Hudson Valley.

Agostino made history in 1996 by creating TipoPils, the first-ever "Italian-style pilsner," which set a significant milestone in the international craft beer scene. At Pils & Love, you'll have the opportunity to taste unlimited pours of Pilsner from over 25 prestigious breweries, making this intimate gathering an unforgettable experience.

Pils & Love has a storied history, embracing the global spirit of Pilsner appreciation. Birrificio Italiano hosted the inaugural Pils Pride festival in Italy in 2006, which continues to captivate beer enthusiasts to this day. In 2017, Oxbow Brewing Company played a crucial role in bringing the first Pils & Love festival to the US, held in Portland, Maine. The festival then traveled to the West Coast in 2018, hosted by Firestone Walker Brewing Company, before returning to the East Coast in 2019, where Oxbow once again held the event.

This year, after a post-COVID hiatus, Pils & Love is making its highly anticipated return to the States. The event will be more intimate than in previous years, featuring 25+ breweries showcasing their finest Pilsners, creating an immersive experience for all attendees. 

Let's raise a glass to the revival of this legendary festival in the States, where the love for Pilsner knows no boundaries.
