Prague Beer Festival on Náplavka Brings Together 40 Czech Microbreweries

Prague’s annual Beer on Náplavka festival will return to the banks of the Vltava River on June 19 and 20, bringing dozens of Czech microbreweries, live music and street food. Now in its 14th year, the event has become one of the city’s largest gatherings dedicated to Czech craft brewing. Organizers say around 40 mini and microbreweries from across the country will take part this year, offering visitors a mix of traditional lagers and modern top-fermented beers. The festival opens on Friday at 2 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. Saturday’s program starts earlier, at 10 a.m., and also runs until the evening. According to festival director Jiří Sedláček, more than 10,000 people attend the event every year, with visitors consuming roughly 14,000 liters of beer over the two-day program. Alongside beer tastings, the festival will feature around 25 food stalls serving a broad selection of dishes designed to pair with Czech and international beers. Visitors can expect grilled meat specialties, Balkan dishes, burgers, tacos, quesadillas, Belgian fries, bruschetta, artisan pizza and sausages made from Přeštice pigs. Coffee stands will also be available throughout the venue. Admission to the festival remains free. Organizers will once again serve beer exclusively in glassware rather than disposable plastic cups, a system they say reduces waste and improves the tasting experience. Music will also play a central role during the weekend. The lineup includes performances by Motovidlo, Asi20?!, Friday Morning, Radio Hot Club Praha, Jazz Underground and Vocal Sextet – za5. Saturday morning will also include a beer-themed flea market focused on collectors. Visitors will be able to browse labels, coasters, corks and other brewery-related memorabilia between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Would you like us to write about your business? Find out more The post Prague Beer Festival on Náplavka Brings Together 40 Czech Microbreweries appeared first on Prague Morning.
