Don’t Miss BeerYard Festival

BeerYard Festival happening soon

The 2nd edition of the one-day festival in Zagreb will connect three independent scenes this year – craft breweries, street food, and music.

The festival this year has expanded and will feature 17 Croatian craft breweries, 5 international craft breweries, including 4 from Spain and 1 from Estonia, 4 bands, 3 street food joints and educational panels.
