This year, for the first time, we have decided to bring together all Lithuanian breweries under one roof - the "Lithuanian Beer Festival". For two days we will invite not only breweries, but also a whole crowd of people to celebrate and socialise. Let this be the only time of the year when you can learn so much about Lithuanian beer and meet its creators in one place.
In Kalnų Park, producers from the smallest to the biggest, from the smallest village to the biggest city, from traditional country beers to modern ones, will be presenting their drinks. This is an event to get to know our country's brewing industry! Each brewer will be the star of the event. Each will have an equal area to introduce themselves. Each brewery participating in the Lithuanian Beer Festival will also be a sponsor of the event.
The idea to organise such a festival came from a group of enthusiasts who have been organising two international festivals in Lithuania: since 2014, the winter craft beer festival "Žmogšala" and since 2017, the biggest craft beer festival in Lithuania - VAF (Vilnius Beer Festival). We have many brewers in our country, but we don't have the opportunity to get to know them and their work.
To make it more fun for everyone, the Lithuanian Beer Festival will take place at the beginning of the summer (31 May - 01 June) in Vilnius at the Kalnų Park Summer Stage!The festival will not only feature beer, but also other drinks, entertainment and great food. Families, couples and friends will gather in Kalnų Park for a festival of flavours. There will be educational games to join, a hearty lunch in the open air, and dancing!
We can all work together to spread the word about beer brewed in Lithuania.
Come to the Kalnų Park Bandstand on 31 May (15:00 to 22:00) and 01 June (12:00 to 22:00).
