**Ayia Napa Marina to Host CraftXBeerience for Second Year in a Row**
Ayia Napa, Cyprus – The popular CraftXBeerience festival is set to return to Ayia Napa Marina for its second consecutive year on the weekend of August 1-2, 2026. This two-day event promises to be a vibrant celebration of craft beer, music, food, and entertainment, inviting locals and tourists alike to enjoy a unique summer experience by the sea.
The festival will run from 5 PM until midnight each day, featuring a diverse array of craft beers from both established and emerging vendors. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a wide variety of beer styles and flavors, with participating breweries including Rabbit Hop, Eviva Brewing Prjkt, Hop Thirsty Friends, Pivo Microbrewery, Radical Way Brewing, Octo Microbrewery, Weekend Cocktails, Lola Pineios Brewery, Funky Fluid, and Uiltje Brewing Co.
In addition to the extensive beer selection, the event will cater to families with organized activities for children. From 6 PM to 9 PM on both days, The Kids Entertainment Factory will provide engaging activities in the indoor area of the Event Center, which is sponsored by Cablenet. Adults can also join in the fun with interactive games hosted by Cablenet throughout the festival.
A standout feature of this year’s CraftXBeerience will be the Beer Blind Taste – Find the Style Challenge, taking place from 7 PM to 8 PM on both days. Participants will have the chance to test their knowledge and senses as they try to identify different beer styles without knowing what they are tasting. All participants will receive 5G Unlimited from Cablenet, and winners will be awarded a beer appreciation course valued at €250, courtesy of Rabbit Hop.
Music will play a significant role in the festival, with live performances scheduled each evening. On Saturday, August 1, the band Time Surfers will take the stage from 8:30 PM to 11 PM, followed by Minus One on Sunday, August 2, who will deliver an energetic live set during the same time slot.
CraftXBeerience is organized by Ayia Napa Marina in collaboration with Moondogs, a popular pub in Nicosia. The festival offers free admission, making it an accessible event for everyone looking to enjoy a different kind of summer weekend.
With its mix of craft beer, family-friendly activities, and live music, CraftXBeerience is poised to be a highlight of the summer calendar in Ayia Napa, creating an ideal meeting point for beer enthusiasts and families alike.
