Historic Beer Weekend Brewmaster's Edition

Historic beer weekend - brewmaster weekend

October 11-12, 2025

Why did monks and nuns brew beer and why were monasteries home to the largest breweries in Europe until the 13th century? Why did the nuns and monks at Vadstena Abbey need to brew 1000s of liters of beer every month and what did Gustav Vasa actually do that meant that the monasteries and their beer brewing disappeared in Sweden in the 16th century?  

This and much more will be answered during this unique historical beer weekend with brewmaster Andreas Fejes - of course accompanied by good beer and food.
