Is Sofia the Next Big Craft Beer Destination? I Went to Find Out!

Video Description

Is Sofia, Bulgaria, the next big craft beer destination in Europe? I hit the streets for an epic Sofia craft beer crawl to find out! From hidden gem bars and always-busy taprooms to rare English cask ales, grunge music vibes, pinball machines, dog-friendly spots, and fresh local Bulgarian brews – this is your ultimate guide to Sofia's booming craft beer scene. Beer was brought to Bulgaria very late but ever since they have been making up for lost time, in the last decade, the craft scene exploded, and Sofia is becoming a must-visit for beer geeks. Expect hazy IPAs, stouts, sours, cozy gardens, friendly crews, and that authentic Balkan twist. In this video, I explore the best craft beer spots in Sofia, including: 🍺 - Vitamin B Craft Beer Bar 🍺 - Crafter Bar (both locations – dog friendly!) 🍺 - Tap Local Craft Beer Bar (grunge vibes!) 🍺 - High Five Taproom (always elbow-to-elbow!) 🍺 - BiraBar – the only place in Bulgaria with proper English cask ales 🍺 - Dissident Beer Shop (pavement pints legend) 🍺 - Pivoteka Craft Beer Shop 🍺 - JEEVS (vinyl + pinball!) 🍺 - Vagabond Beer Shop And more...
