Open Craft Festiwal at Browar Nepomucen in Szkaradowo

Poland's craft scene is one of the largest in Europe by number of breweries, but its most interesting summer gathering happens well away from Warsaw or Wrocław. The Open Craft Festiwal takes place at Browar Nepomucen in Szkaradowo, a village in Greater Poland, on 7 and 8 August 2026. Gates open at 14:00 on the Friday and run until 02:00, with Saturday from 12:00 to midnight. Holding a festival on the brewery's own grounds changes the character of the thing: visitors camp, the beer travels metres rather than kilometres, and the pace is closer to a country weekend than a trade fair. Polish beer writers have singled out the event for drawing people who want atmosphere as much as rare pours. Nepomucen has built a reputation for barrel-aged and mixed-fermentation beers, styles that reward the unhurried setting.
