Zürich hosts the country's largest beer festival annually, and has a number of microbreweries. [46] [47] Beer served at a mountain restaurant. Absinthe is perhaps the most famous Swiss spirit. It is legally distilled again in its Val-de-Travers birthplace, in the Jura region of Switzerland.
The organising committee is free to choose how often the festival takes place, but the idea is that it is held once in a generation. [2] Up to now, the interval between two festivals has varied between 14 and 28 years. The most recent festival took place in July and August 2019, [3] 20 years after the preceding one (1999). [4]

In the almost two weeks of the festival, more than 782,400 liters of beer, 70,700 BBQ chicken halves, 4,200 pork hocks and 6,200 pork sausage servings are consumed.
