So for 5 days you may pick and choose from the best import and craft beers, which will also be accompanied by tasty snacks and meals served directly from the Food-Trucks. 

The event will grow not just in the range of the location, but in the variety of the beers we offer, with a special Craft Beer Street, also by introducing the new Hungarian beers.

The festival will be presenting the magnificent beverages provided by the largest breweries, the highest class import breweries and the fresh craft beer companies. Besides the more than 200 different types of beers, our visitors will get the chance to taste the products of Hungary’s first newwave Boutique Brewery. 

The visitors will have the opportunity to try out these new flavors, which will be served in one of the 3 specially designed unique beer glasses.
