Go Behind the Scenes
Find out firsthand how a modern Hungarian craft brewery operates. A brewery team member leads the way, explaining the equipment and ingredients behind their innovative, boundary-pushing beers. Alongside the walkthrough, guests can choose an informal 4 x 6.8 oz tasting. You’ll get to know the uncompromising raw materials of small-batch brewing, explore the technology, the house philosophy, and each step of the brewing process from grain to glass.
From Ingredients to Packaging
In this unique Budapest show brewery, you’ll see everything: the grains and hops, the mash and boil, fermentation, and packaging. If you’re curious how ever-more-special beers are made—and want to taste them—this one’s for you. Before, during, and after the tour, the Taproom connected to the brewery pours fresh, top-tier beers straight from the source.
Arrive Early, Stay Late
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your tour. The Taproom is open before and after, so feel free to come earlier and hang around later to drink, chat, and sample more. Your tour includes a flexible 4 x 6.8 oz tasting redeemed at the bar—pick any beers you like. If you prefer, you can swap these for takeaway beers or other alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks. There’s no hot kitchen on site, but ordering via foodora, Wolt, and similar services is welcome.

About FIRST Craft Beer
Since opening in 2017, FIRST has been brewing nonstop, aiming to become one of Hungary’s leading craft breweries—not just by output and revenue, but by offering a selection that tracks global trends, inspires quality drinking, and keeps innovation and experimentation front and center. Since head brewer Máté Ábrahám arrived in 2018, the team has released an average of more than 25 new beers every year. Most are one-off batches—perfect for showcasing new styles, ingredients, and techniques. Constant experimentation and refined methods have secured FIRST’s place as a key player in Hungarian craft brewing. From long-celebrated IPAs to today’s increasingly popular sours, their award-winning beers have left a mark—and the work goes far beyond brewing. Since the Újpest (New Pest) Taproom opened, tens of thousands have visited for regular brewery tours and tastings led by the team, learning about both the brewing process and modern beer styles. It all supports a simple belief: quality should replace quantity, and beer deserves a rightful place at the center of social life.
