CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL
JANUARY 25, 2025, GABRIEL LOCI
Introducing the second edition of our dream beer tasting festival Winter Affair! This was conceived by my colleagues and I at the brewery and first implemented in January 2024. Your interest and the resulting success of the festival has delighted us and opened the door to another year!
So write down the date 25.1.2025!
The festival will follow last year’s pattern. You can therefore look forward to representatives of at least 25 breweries, representing not only the European brewing top. Each of the breweries will present 6 of their beers. Your ticket opens the door to unlimited beer tasting, where the tasting day will last ten hours and consist of three three-hour blocks, where you will be able to choose from different beers brought by the breweries at each one. Of course, our gastronomic friends will be present and ready to fill your stomachs.
We are already in talks with breweries and will be announcing them gradually; as with the first edition, you can look forward to a flourish of world brewing and a wide range of flavours,
reflecting the complex world of craft beer.
THESE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONFIRMED
Coming to us from Florida are the brewers from Hidden Spring Ale Works, who have been serving their beer in the Tampa Heights neighborhood of Tampa since 2015. Their portfolio spans many beer styles, but you can mostly look forward to experimental fruit sours and very well-tuned barrel-aged stouts.
Bamberg is not just about traditional smoked beers. It's also home to Germany's leading new wave brewery, Blech.brut, which focuses mainly on modern hoppy beers, but dabbles in many other styles. You, however, should definitely come to sample their precision work with American and New World hops in particular.
A completely unique project based just outside the German city of Münster, which does not let itself be bound by any templates. Together, Jan and Nicole Kemker create authentic imprints of their fields and gardens, which communicate to us through novel farmhouse ales and ciders. They rely on local fruits, herbs, microflora and lots of time spent in barrels.
Coming to us from Ireland is Dublin's Whiplash Brewery, which we are very much looking forward to. We bump into it all over Europe and its beers are simply fabulous. Whether it's modern IPAs, sours or even their interpretations of lagers, you can always count on a job well done. Come and taste them at our festival!
We often inform you about our travels and successes in France. Now we would like to introduce you to the friends we have made there. From Strasbourg, we welcome a brewery that is small in size but huge in heart, and is sure to win you over with their original sours and fragrant New England IPAs.
This year, we are thrilled to welcome a complete leader in Italian brewing, which has built its global reputation on interpretations of traditional European and American styles. All this often using hops and grain grown with their own hands. A truly renaissance brewery, enjoy them with us!
The Hungarian scene hides a pearl that doesn't get to look outside its home very often. Small production and high demand makes Brew Your Mind sometimes hard to find even in Budapest. But why is that? Simple. Their juicy New England IPAs are on par with the best you'll find anywhere in the world.
Our friends from the Polish flying brewery Ziemia Obiecana will bring their interpretations of modern beer styles and courageous experiments, led by fragrant fresh IPAs and fruit-laden sours.
Last year we welcomed the famous French microbrewery Popihn and we will welcome them again this year. This time, however, we will welcome its wild Sauvage division, which is dedicated to spontaneously and wildly fermented beers. You can look forward to a combination of complexity, elegance and very careful work with quality ingredients.
Lovers of rustic beers can look forward to a visit from the Basque Country. The META Edabeak brewery, which is dedicated to wild and spontaneous fermentation, the use of local ingredients and its portfolio includes mainly very authentic interpretations of farmhouse ale style beers.
White Dog carries the essence of the Dutch postmodernity through their Juicy NEIPAs, deep pastry stouts and vibrant fruity smoothie sours.
This Norwegian legend can take considerable credit for the glory of Scandinavian brewing, and we are delighted to welcome their interpretations of modern beer styles at our festival.
The Latvian brewery Nurme combines modern brewing practices and styles with a specific touch of unique Baltic culture and raw materials without being limited by beer styles and with endless imagination.
Põhjala has made a name for itself on the European continent with its unorthodox approach, original design, surprising ingredients and a barrel programme that really spares no time. Taste this Estonian legend with us!
Tommie Sjef's blendery is a legend among lovers of wild and spontaneously fermented beers, his beers sell out within hours and we are honored to welcome him to our January festival!
Nottingham's darling of the beer geeks is coming to see us with its innovative approach, original design and huge range of beer styles from juicy New England IPAs, to stouts, to sours and beyond. Get a taste of modern British brewing. Maybe you'll understand all the hype.
Swedish lovers of brutally but elegantly hopped beers who brew very small batches that are subject to the utmost care and clear vision. It's not just their hazy New England IPAs that will remind you that Scandinavia is one of the cradles of modern European brewing.
The newcomers to the scene from Bratislava, Slovakia, have only been brewing for a year, but those who have tasted them already know that we have a major new player on the scene. The guys from Firstep focus on drinkability, fresh hopping and dry fermentation. So expect pours that will disappear from your glass very quickly.
The imprint of the Czech brewing industry is reflected in many regions of the world. One of the more pronounced one is the tiny Golem brewery in Nicosia on the island of Cyprus. It was founded by our compatriots and proudly claims its roots. But there is much more to their offer than just variations on Czech lagers. They produce a lot of interesting beer styles and they are not afraid of less trendy experiments! Try them all at our festival!
These Danish beer masters probably need no introduction. Their production extends to almost every style of beer and their portfolio includes lagers, imperial stouts, fragrant New England IPAs, authentic wilds and much more. Come taste what bombs are coming to us from To Øl!
The British legend of strong dark beers will visit Prague in January and they will bring with them some high voltage goodies. Emperor's Brewery may have a small brewery, but it has a huge reputation in its homeland, and their presence will not only excite beer fans, but also Star Wars fans, because their beers reference the legendary anthology.
