Rock City & Friends
Take a look in advance
Following the overwhelming success of previous editions, the Netherlands’ most enjoyable craft beer weekend is back: Rock City & Friends 2026. On Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21, the brewery at Mijnbouwweg 15 will once again be transformed into a bustling paradise for beer lovers, with Rock City’s copper kettles and imposing fermentation tanks serving as the backdrop.
What once began as a celebration marking the opening of Rock City Brewing —now eight years ago—has grown into an annual highlight of the Dutch craft beer scene. In 2018, following a successful crowdfunding campaign, the doors opened for the first time. The crowdfunding funds have since been fully repaid to all investors, friends, and family. This year, the brewers are celebrating that achievement with even more flavor, experience, and pride. Rock City & Friends is all about what makes craft beer truly special: enjoyment, experience, and friendship.

Many well-known partner breweries are returning, but this year’s lineup is even bigger. Alongside familiar names like Lineman (IRE), Ten Hands, and Shapes & Objects (SE), new faces are also eager to pour their beers. From the American brewers at Tripping Animals and Wild East to the Canadian brewers at Fine Balance and Wills Brewing. In total, more than eighteen partner breweries from around the world will be present, with the brewers themselves behind the tap. Visitors can ask the brewers all sorts of questions about their techniques, recipes, and adventures. The lineup of local entrepreneurs and artisans has also been expanded. In addition to commemorating this special weekend at Bold & Bright’s returning tattoo corner, you can also book an appointment at Isa van Koppel Barbershop to get your beard trimmed to perfection—with a craft beer in hand, of course. Meanwhile, the chef will be using the large smoker and charcoal grill to prepare delicious BBQ bites that pair perfectly with a good glass of beer.
Previous editions sold out completely during the presale, and anyone who still wanted to attend had to turn to TicketSwap. Interest seems to be high again this year. Already hailed by various beer platforms as “the best craft beer event of the year,” this edition promises to be another exceptional weekend. Don’t miss it. If you want to be there, don’t wait too long to buy your ticket.
