Discover the Pécs Brewery (Pécsi Sörfőzde) from the inside, then raise a glass to what you’ve learned. The Pécs Beer Tour is a guided brewery visit paired with a structured tasting, running every Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 at 7600 Pécs, Tavasz Street (Tavasz utca) 13. It’s all about getting close to the country’s oldest continuously operating brewery, seeing how beer is made from mash to maturation, and capping it off with a pro-led sampling of their specialty brews.
What You’ll See, Smell, and Taste
Two hours, one working brewery, and a team of guides who live and breathe the craft. You’ll step onto the brewing floor, learn how malt, hops, yeast, and water work together, and follow the process from the heat of the brew kettle to the calm of fermentation. Group leaders adjust the tour to the number of visitors, so you won’t get lost in a crowd. The finale happens in the showroom, where a specialist leads a curated tasting of Pécs Beer’s (Pécsi Sör) lineup—an easy way to connect all the dots from production to pint.
When to Go and How to Book
Tours run every Saturday, 10:00–12:00, and require registration. Sign up by Thursday at 20:00 for the upcoming Saturday. Your spot is confirmed only once you receive a reply from the organizers, so keep an eye on your inbox. The visit fee is 4,000 HUF per person, which includes the guided tasting; that’s approximately 11.20 USD at current exchange rates. If you’re organizing a larger group of more than 15 people, weekday appointments are also possible—ideal for team events or a beer-forward family outing.

Where You’ll Be
Address: 7600 Pécs, Tavasz Street (Tavasz utca) 13. The facility is an easy hop from the city’s historic center, making it simple to fold the tour into a full Pécs day—Cathedral in the morning, brewery late morning, museums and hillside views in the afternoon.
Bring a Crew
Tour launches depend on how many people sign up for each slot, but big groups get special treatment. For parties of more than 15, the brewery opens up weekday visits so you can skip the Saturday crowd and make the brewing floor your own. Just email your headcount and preferred timing when you register. Confirmation is your green light.
How Much It Costs
4,000 HUF per person, or about 11.20 USD. That covers the full guided tour plus the tasting session in the showroom. No hidden extras—just good beer and the knowledge behind it.
Make It a Weekend: Stay in Pécs
If you’re turning the brewery tour into a weekend, the city’s got your back with a range of stays from boutique glam to hillside calm. There’s Adele Boutique Hotel in the historic center—a 19th-century protected building with an interior that marries period charm and modern design at an exclusive level. If you like the sound of fresh air and wide views, Bagolyvár sits above Pécs on Havihegy, known for its clean air and quiet, with nineteen rooms dressed in Hungarian folk-art motifs and six suites modeled after traditional wine press houses, each capturing the mood of a famous Hungarian grape variety. Expect a panorama facing the Zengő side and a Hungarian restaurant with a stylish touch—think classic Hungarian dishes and sweets alongside international plates.
Closer to the Cathedral, Barbakán Hotel offers 16 rooms—doubles, triples, and quads—plus a conference room and a garage, handy if you’re mixing business with tasting. Prefer family-run comfort? Head to the Mecsek hillside above downtown, where a friendly pension places you five minutes from forest paths and just as close to the city. The Zoo and Da Vinci Private Clinic are nearby, Mandulás Park is a few hundred meters away with playgrounds and fire pits, and free guided hikes are available for groups, including routes toward the TV Tower.
In the very center, Boutique Hotel Sopianae plays with contrasts: a heritage-style exterior and a modern interior, offering personalized, high-standard service in a discreet, homely atmosphere. Prefer nature first? The Büdöskút key house (Büdöskúti kulcsosház) sits between Remete-rét and Orfű, about 800 meters off the road on the Blue Trail (KÉK-túra) and Green Cross (ZÖLD KERESZT) trails, and can host up to 12 people—perfect for hikers who plan to toast their trek with a Pécs Beer (Pécsi) after the tour.
Another solid base is an apartment hotel in the villa district just minutes from the UNESCO-listed Early Christian Necropolis, the Cathedral, and the city’s famed museum street—ideal if your weekend plans include a culture binge. There’s also a thoroughly modernized lodging inside the former convent of the Canonesses of Our Lady (Miasszonyunkról Nevezett Kanonokrend), a Baroque, heritage-listed building from around 1870 that now hides contemporary comforts behind its historic facade, right in the heart of Pécs.
Plan, Book, Cheers
Register by Thursday at 20:00, get your confirmation, and show up Saturday at 10:00 ready to walk, watch, and taste. If you’re more than 15, book a weekday. Bring curiosity, sensible shoes, and a thirst for Pécs Beer’s (Pécsi Sör) story—told the best way possible, one sip at a time.
