Welcome to Belgrade and its Beer Fest. The festival of good beer, uplifting music, energy and atmosphere.
Over two million people have visited the festival in the last five years, 50.000 of them being foreign citizens. The quality of this event was confirmed when an influential British newspaper "The Independent" listed the Belgrade Beer Fest as one of the most attractive Planetary events in 2006.
