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.
Meet the modern face of Poland’s vibrant beer culture. Experience over 1,300 beers from top brewers driving the revolution. Discover and enjoy the forefront of taste innovation, poured from more than 600 taps. There is something for everyone, even more traditional styles and experimental flavours.
For over 100 years, Warsaw’s streets have been home to a diverse mix of people and cultures. The city’s food scene has developed into a unique blend of tastes from around the world. Traditions continue at the Warsaw Beer Festival. 20 of the best foodtrucks offer visitors a distinct selection for every taste and pocket.
