Radegast is calling on its clan to come to Nošovice

1.9.2010 Radegast

Radegast Day will be the highlight of the 40th anniversary celebration of the founding of the brewery. “An important anniversary is a good reason for inviting all of the fans of Radegast beer to one venue at one time,” said Manager of the Radegast brand, Pavel Kmínek. “That is why we are calling on all beer fans, whose symbol is the pagan god Radegast, to come to Nošovice as one tribe.”

All four stages tie in with the Radegast tribe theme and they will offer a lot of fun. The tribal village will be hosting performances by famous musicians such as Buty, Mňága and Žďorp or Věra Špinarová. It isn't an accident that all share a close connection with Moravia. “Radegast is the most popular beer in Moravia,” added Pavel Kmínek. “That is why, this year, we have invited music legends who have the same roots as Radegast.”

The clan battlefield will task Radegast fans with overcoming challenges, comparing their strengths with their friends and proving that they belong to the clan. A lot of fun will also be had at the clan village and in the clan kitchen. Those interested can of course also take a tour of the brewery and visit the brand new Visitors' Centre.

Just like every year, non-filtered Radegast lager will be available at the Radegast Day. Buses, trains, and even a historic train will come to Nošovice, with stops in Frýdek-Místek and in Ostrava. The event starts when the clock hits 10 pm.
