The Warsaw Beer Festival (WBF) isn’t your typical beer bash. Now in its 19th edition, this event at Legia Stadium’s conference zone has grown into Poland’s premier craft beer festival. But it’s not just about beer—it’s about people, experiences, and a welcoming atmosphere for all, whether you drink or not.
With over 70 craft breweries, WBF showcases Poland’s top-tier brewers and a diverse selection of beverages. But what truly sets it apart is its inclusive approach. “It’s not just about alcohol,” says festival co-founder Paweł Leszczyński. “We have non-alcoholic beers, kvass made with Putka bakery, and activities that go beyond breweries.” The festival creates a space where everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers alike, can enjoy themselves without pressure.
At its core, WBF is about people. “Every festival is about emotions, energy, and shared experiences,” explains co-founder Michał Lassota. The team behind WBF continually adapts to trends, ensuring that the festival evolves alongside its audience. This year, they are emphasizing environmental responsibility with a new push for reduced waste and sustainable practices.
The festival’s artistic side is highlighted in its latest promotional poster—an oil painting by Marek Konatkowski. “Craft and art are inseparable,” says Lassota. “In an era dominated by AI, we wanted to showcase real, human creativity.” This philosophy extends to the festival experience itself, where craft brewing is presented as both a science and an art.
For those looking to explore Polish craft beer, WBF offers tastings, workshops, and masterclasses in both Polish and English. The festival’s legendary Parostacja sauna, a crowd favorite, will be back to provide a steamy retreat.
“Thursday and Saturday are the best days to visit,” advise the organizers. “Thursday offers the freshest conversations with brewers, and Saturday is packed with social and family-friendly attractions.” Tickets are available at warszawskifestiwalpiwa.pl, with options for day passes, three-day passes, and exclusive festival sets.
Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado, an art enthusiast, or just someone looking for a fun atmosphere, WBF is an unmissable experience. Mark your calendars and be part of the story!
