ABOUT

The Warsaw Beer Festival is more than just a gathering with great beer—it’s three days filled with positive energy, conversations, laughter, and new experiences. 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.

Would you believe me if I told you there’s a place where you can try 1,400 different beers, eat cooked bull testicles, join a yoga class on a stadium field, listen to live music, and end the day in a sauna? You have to experience it at least once in your life to feel its magic—and after that, you’ll want to return every edition, just like I do. It never gets old! It’s one of those rare events that truly has something for everyone—big and small—with countless attractions, food trucks, games, lectures, and workshops that change every time. And if you manage to find the organizer among the crowd, they’ll definitely recommend the best beers and workshops available at the current edition!

The Warsaw Beer Festival goes far beyond its name. It’s not just about the best craft beers from Poland (and even beyond!), but also a celebration of craftsmanship in the broadest sense, offering an amazing opportunity to spend time with fantastic people. While beer is the star of the show, outstanding food, a well-curated program of diverse events, music, craft zones, and even a sauna all come together in a symphony of unique experiences.

If this festival had a motto, it would be „diversity.” The Warsaw Beer Festival is not just a showcase of beer styles and breweries—it’s, above all, an incredible mosaic of people you can meet here.

I used to travel across Poland to attend various beer festivals. But for the past few years, the Warsaw Beer Festival has been enough for me—bringing together the best of Poland’s craft breweries in one place. Plus, the Debut Zone introduces new breweries whose beers are rarely available in Warsaw. Warsaw Beer Festival is the best beer festival for me, and I’m happy it takes place right in my city.

The Warsaw Beer Festival is, above all, an event that brings people together—people from different backgrounds, with different views, and different tastes in beer. It’s a festival of diversity, showcasing craftsmanship in all its forms, not just beer. Every edition adds new experiences, expanding the lineup of attractions. And the beer? It’s always top-tier.

For me, the Warsaw Beer Festival is a modern-day ritual—the perfect excuse to visit Warsaw, spend magical moments at the beloved Legia Stadium, taste hoppy ambrosia, meet like-minded people, and soak up a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. I’m eagerly looking forward to WFP19. Uvidíme se!

The choice, diversity and quality of the beer is exceptional, but that’s come to be expected. What truly elevates the Warsaw Beer Festival far above its peers is its atmosphere – nothing compares. Yes, outstanding beer is the anchoring element, but this is just as much a Festival of Warsaw as it is a Festival of Beer. It’s a mirror of the city’s own modern spirit: inclusive, wacky, exciting, engaging, eclectic, and rollicking good fun. Consider this a world class festival for what is now a world class city.

Alex WebberWriter and journalist

I keep coming back to the Warsaw Beer Festival year after year, mostly because it’s where I can meet my beer-loving friends—both from Poland and, increasingly, from abroad. What I love is that at almost every brewery stand, you can talk directly with the brewer or the person behind the beer’s creation. Plus, the variety and creativity of the beers here can truly make your head spin!

Dorota ChrapekZarzecze Brewery

The Warsaw Beer Festival is an event where everyone can find something for themselves—even if they’re not beer fans. People from all over Poland and the world gather here, and the friendships formed at WFP often last for years.
