Фестиваль пива в Колочаві
Kolochava, Ukraine
Jun 9 - 10, 2026ExpectedSource
In the open-air Old Village museum of Kolochava, this early-summer festival pours more than a dozen beer styles from local brewers and invited Czech breweries. Beer-making came to these Carpathian valleys with Bohemian and Austrian settlers, and the festival pairs the brews with hearty mountain cooking.
Media proof note
The Kolochava Beer Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.

Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Beer brewing was historically introduced to the Carpathians by Bohemian and Austrian influences. Staging a Czech beer festival in Kolochava (which has an open-air museum of Hutsul life) highlights this shared brewing heritage. It also promotes the village museum as a cultural venue and celebrates tavern culture in the mountains.
