Éld át a sörfőzés élményét testközelből—right in Budapest. First Craft Beer opens the doors of its working brewhouse for weekly guided tours that end with a generous tasting flight. You’ll see exactly how small-batch Hungarian beer is made, walk past the tanks, learn the philosophy behind the recipes, and then try it fresh on tap. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and includes a 4 x 2 dl tasting—eight fluid ounces total—poured to your taste from the bar. Buy your brewery tour ticket first, then book a time slot that fits your schedule. Simple as that—then come thirsty.

What You’ll See and Taste
This is a behind-the-scenes look at a modern Hungarian craft brewery that prizes innovation. Staff members guide you through the equipment, raw ingredients, and brewing processes—from malt and hops selection to the way the team designs new brews. You’ll get a clear, candid explanation of how the beers move from mash to fermenter to bright tank, and finally into your glass. The Taproom, connected directly to the brewery, is open before and after the tour, so you can arrive early, linger late, and keep the conversation flowing over fresh pours.
The Tasting: Your Flight, Your Way
Each ticket includes a 4 x 2 dl tasting, and it’s flexible. Order from the bar what you actually want to try—no rigid flights. Prefer to swap a pour for a take‑away beer? Want a different alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink instead? You can redeem your tasting entitlement accordingly. It’s your call at the counter.

There’s no hot kitchen on site, but you can order delivery through services like Foodora or Wolt and enjoy your meal in the Taproom. The tour is guided and lasts approximately 60 minutes; the tasting happens in the Taproom after the walkthrough.
