Festival organizers Makro Beer Fest 2017 are preparing a varied accompanying program: musical, culinary and educational, which will not only be of interest to brewers and restaurant owners, but to a wider range of visitors.

The festival began its story three years ago at Trg Leona Štuklja under the name Styrian beer festival, and last year he moved to Main market, was extended to a two-day event and renamed to Macro Beer Fest. In 2016, it recorded a record 7,000 visitors and thus became the largest microbrewery festival in the wider region. Two years in a row (2015 and 2016) he was awarded by the Slovenian brewing industry for the best beer festival in Slovenia, and in May 2017 it launched its first branch festival - Mi(kk)ro Beer Fest in Krško, which was visited by more than 4,000 visitors.
