Beer Events in Bangkok

Upcoming Beer events to put on your calendar

Events, festivals, special tastings happen in Bangkok all the time. The list of Beer Events in Bangkok is more focused on the beer fests, especially local Thai Craft beer events. Other occasional events happening at craft beer venues may be added as a beer event if we can find out about it in time.

We also try to get ahead of the ‘Booze-Ban’ days, as they can come as a surprise even to the locals. Best to plan ahead for those days.

2026 List of Beer Events in Bangkok

February Events:

Bangkaew Bar & Bistro 10th Anniversary

Translated Facebook post:

“Ten years ago, my first keg of beer didn’t start with a big dream.
It started with a desire to experiment… and then a cycle of trial and error.
From that day until today,
that desire to experiment gradually turned into a passion.
And I believe many people who have stepped into this small space have benefited as well.”

Pijiu Bar's 9th Anniversary

Facebook post:

“See your this 28.”
