After a long pause, the legendary Haggenmacher Bräu returns – and we’ll celebrate it in style!

A weekend where tradition meets the contemporary: the 200-year-old Bernbeuren brass band, exhibitions across aqb spaces, progressive music, DJs, games, Bavarian food – and, of course, the very first freshly tapped Haggenmacher beer.

Atmosphere, experience, and community – Budafok is opening a new chapter.

What Makes This Event Special?

This isn’t just another beer festival – it’s a cultural renaissance. The new Haggenmacher Brewery will start with a classic lager, giving you the chance to taste history reborn.

But beyond the beer, this event represents something much bigger:

Cultural Heritage Meets Modern Creativity: The brewery operates within the AQB art quarter, creating a unique fusion of industrial heritage, contemporary art, and craft brewing.
