According to the press release circulating since\u00a0a few days ago, the 2024 edition has been a \u201crecord-breaking\u201d one for\u00a0Beer&amp;Food\u00a0Attraction, with a +20% increase in professional visits compared to the previous year. It\u2019s essential to specify that these numbers don\u2019t solely pertain to the beer-related aspects of the event; instead, it encompasses various fields, ranging from mixology to food, beverages, and technologies. However, the<strong> impression of a higher turnout compared to twelve months ago<\/strong> was evident and, at least in initial analyses, served to inject a bit of positivity into the environment. Going beyond a superficial interpretation, though, there is a sense that many of the additional visits might not have been strictly linked to the world of industry professionals; in other words, the data perhaps got a boost from attendees not precisely in the target demographic. Nevertheless,\u00a0on the whole, the assessment can be considered positive. Those who expected a subdued edition had to reconsider, fortunately, we might add.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7156\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/2022\/05\/07\/all-the-best-italian-craft-beers-of-the-year-2022-brewery-of-the-year\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=640\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=2046 2046w, https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/theitaliancraftbeer.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/monica-di-loxley-pervnwqbali-unsplash.jpeg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: monica di loxley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <strong>Italian Beer Awards<\/strong>, hosted by Birra\u00a0dell\u2019Anno<a href=\"https:\/\/www.birradellanno.it\/it\/bda2024\/\">https:\/\/www.birradellanno.it\/it\/bda2024\/<\/a>\u00a0, have become synonymous with excellence, spotlighting the most exceptional beers across diverse categories.
