A hundred craft beers and music from Southeast Europe will dominate this year's rtm+beer2015 festival in downtown Sofia on Saturday and Sunday.

 

RTM's third edition is taking place at the Borisova Garden, in and near Maimunarnika Club. Entry is free.

 

Slovenian, Croatian, Romanian, Greek and Bulgarian beers will be part of the special "Southeast European" selection for the festival.

 

Several guest bands and DJs from the region are to play this weekend: DJ Phillie P and Spacewalker (Serbia), Mr.Goju (Montenegro), Woo D (Slovenia) and KOSTA and UFE (Romania) among others.

 

The Bulgarian lineup includes indie bands such as D A Y O Live Band, The Bedlam Club, and Two Cities (Bulgaria-US).

 

Organizers have said rtm+beer festival is aimed at promoting an improved consumer culture and way of life, raising quality of foods and beverages people enjoy on an everyday basis.

 

With several craft brands gaining increasing popularity over the past year, Bulgaria hasn't been spared the effect smaller breweries are already having on beer culture in the region and elsewhere across the world.
