From hip breweries in Budapest to hidden gems nestled in the countryside, this one-day nationwide event invites you to tour production facilities, meet master brewers, and, of course, sample exceptional small-batch beers – many of which aren’t available anywhere else.

In Budapest, you can explore some of the city’s most innovative brewing hotspots, including FIRST Craft Beer, Monyo Budapest, and Horizont Brewing – each offering unique tastings, guided tours, and festive extras.

Beyond the capital, breweries in picturesque locations such as Pécs, Eger, Győr, Zalacsány, and Békésszentandrás will also welcome guests with open taps and open arms.

Over by Lake Balaton, Hedon Brewing Co. promises an equally memorable experience.

Highlights of the day include:

• Guided brewery tours revealing the brewing process from grain to glass

• Tastings of limited-edition and brand-new beers

• Meet-and-greets with brewmasters

• Street food, live music, and exclusive merchandise

• A laid-back, friendly atmosphere where visitors can connect over great beer
   

Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer fan or just curious about Hungary’s buzzing beer scene, this is a brilliant way to discover the country’s passion for artisanal brewing. Most participating locations offer free entry or a low minimum consumption fee, making it an easy and affordable outing.

Bonus: Hübris brewery will be celebrating a week later, on 24 May, with their own set of special events – perfect for those who can’t get enough.

So grab your friends, plan a brewery-hopping route, and enjoy a day full of flavour, creativity, and good cheer.
