CAPFest, organized by the UCAP (Peruvian artisanal brewers association), their festival will be held from the 4th to the 6th of August in the Cemayu Lodge convention center in Oxapampa. Sixteen Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, Tacna, Huancayo, and Villarica brewers will join fourteen food stands. They are targeting five thousand visitors for the festival.
Oliver Diaz, the leader of UCAP, told us, “Visitors can enjoy over 80 brands and 30 different styles of artisanal beers, also share and talk to passionate creators of each brand”.
This event will occur a few meters from the main square of Oxapampa at the Cemayu Lodge convention center, an area of one thousand square meters and an open area of four thousand square meters. 2023 is the second time since 2014 that this event has occurred in a city different than Lima. Their idea is to expand the artisanal brewing culture all over the country.
