Budapest’s only winter beer festival returns February 6–7, 2026, moving into the monumental Anantara New York Palace Hotel on Erzsébet Boulevard (Erzsébet körút) 9 for its ninth edition and its biggest lineup yet. Expect a whole weekend of unlimited tastings across a sprawling, multicultural tap list featuring Hungarian, Czech, German, English, and Belgian brews.
All-You-Can-Taste Beer
More than 100 draft beers will be poured over two days, served in 3.4–6.8 oz tasting pours. Your tasting glass is your passport to as many specialties—from small-batch craft to large-scale legends—as you can handle. Alongside the taps, the festival serves up talks, programs, and a five-course beer dinner that dives deep into beer gastronomy on both Friday and Saturday nights.
