In 2023 Central Europe's largest festival will celebrate premium beers

Budapest, 01.06.2023. - This August, the Budapest based Sziget Festival anticipates nearly 400,000 attendees. Dreher Breweries, part of Asahi Europe & International will honour European beer culture through two global and one local brands, each embodying a unique ethos. Peroni Nastro Azzurro, originating from Italy, will infuse the festival with a sense of la dolce vita, orchestrating engaging activities across various venues. The Czech brand, Pilsner Urquell, will represent the rich beer tradition, while Hungarian Dreher underscores the importance of responsible drinking.

Since the Festival’s inception, Dreher and Sziget have shared a symbiotic relationship, with the brand reigning as the festival's official beer for decades. This year, Dreher is set to curate a majestic beer pavilion adjacent to the main stage, which will feature performances by global music sensations including Lorde, Imagine Dragons, and Billie Eilish. Initiatives like hop stick

swings and reflex test games will be on hand to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

Last year, Pilsner Urquell unveiled a dedicated zone where guests could enjoy their expertly brewed beer while engaging with the brand's history and the art of beer-making through an immersive exhibit, complete with a beer cellar replica. This popular attraction is slated to return, inviting even larger crowds.

In prior years, Peroni Nastro Azzurro showcased the Italian lifestyle exclusively in the VIP sector, within its own lounge area. However, this year, all festival-goers will have the opportunity to experience the brand at multiple points of sale throughout the venue.

Echoing the message of moderation, Dreher will champion responsible alcohol consumption, offering an extensive selection of non-alcoholic alternatives to traditional beers at all points of sale, ensuring a festive and safe experience for all.
