This tour which is led by our beer-specialized guide will include visits to three bars. The first will be a truly local place, which the craft beer revolution has not yet touched, where you will discuss the broader history and culture of Hungarian beer. At the next two places you will taste around eight craft beers in a wide range of styles and flavours. At one bar you will have some light food to accompany the beer. Join us to discover these exciting beers, and hear the stories behind them, while the revolution is still fresh.
