Since 2014, every spring and autumn, we create a space where passionate people come together: craft brewers, beer enthusiasts, and everyone who enjoys a good time in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
It’s a place where friendships are made, new flavors are discovered, and old habits are broken. No pretension—just a love for craft and an open invitation to anyone who wants to experience the spirit of this unique community. The Warsaw Beer Festival isn’t just about beer—it’s a festival of people, ideas, and endless creativity.

Traditions continue at the Warsaw Beer Festival. 20 of the best foodtrucks offer visitors a distinct selection for every taste and pocket.
