Poland's brewing history goes back centuries, with one of the oldest breweries located in an old Abbey in Szczyrzyc. Poland's craft beer scene has exploded all over the country in the past 5 years. What was once pubs full of large multinational brands, local craft beer pubs now fill city centres. The Hevelka Craft Beer Fest will bring many of the best Polish craft beer breweries to Gdansk this October. If you know the difference between an India or American pale ale, you shouldn't skip this event.
