The Pécs Brewery Tour is back on Saturdays with a behind-the-scenes look at Hungary’s oldest continuously operating brewery — and a guided tasting to wrap it all up. Head to 7600 Pécs, Tavasz utca 13 on select dates from February to July 2026, and discover how the city’s storied beer is made, from mash to pour.
How the tour works
The brewery opens its doors every Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00. Tours run based on the number of registered visitors, so booking ahead is essential. You can sign up until Thursday at 20:00 for that weekend’s slot, and your place is confirmed once you receive the brewery’s email confirmation. Groups of more than 15 can also request weekday appointments.
The tour is led by brewery staff who walk you through the production process — from brewing to fermentation — and give you a close-up look at the raw materials that shape the character of Pécs beers. The experience ends in the showroom with a professionally guided tasting of the brewery’s lineup.
What it costs and how to book
The visit fee is 4,000 HUF per person, which includes the guided beer tasting — about 10.90 USD. Registration is required by email; include your planned group size so the team can organize the session properly. Contact details and the name of the contact person, József Aradi, are provided by the organizer.
