Looking for something to do this weekend in Moscow? Love beer? Have we got a festival for you!
On Saturday the Flacon Art and Design Center is hosting the Craft Depot Fest 2017, a celebration of craft beer from around the world. Over 75 breweries from Russia, Europe and even the U.S. will be pouring their wares by the mugfull all day and half the night. You can check out beers from Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Scotland and Ireland. You can decide if you prefer Lithuanian to Estonian craft beer — or the other way around. And you can taste what small breweries in Brooklyn are up to.
For brewers, large and small, there will be lectures, talks, and master classes. For them and everyone else, there will be souvenir stands and a market — and, of course, food trucks selling the perfect beer food: American, Mexican and Belgian. To help you get in the mood, there will be music, too: CityPipes, BOOZEMEN ACOUSTIC JAM, Remark, NEEDSHES, and many more.
The event will be held in the Art Space of Flacon from noon to 11 p.m. Day tickets range from 750 to 5,000 rubles, depending on how limited or unlimited you want your beer degustation.
For more information and advance tickets, go to the festival site.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
