“This year, we did not prepare a special beer type, but asked the breweries joining the initiative to present at least one seasonal novelty to those who come to them in addition to their most popular product,”

– said the main organizer. He added that with this, they would like to highlight the characteristic of small breweries that they can react to trends with amazing speed, a fashion wave passes through the system in weeks, so consumers should carefully follow the communication of breweries if they do not want to miss out on a new product.
