Főzdefeszt, Hungary's Craft-Beer Festival, is held in the former Palace Neighborhood of District 8. The aim of the festival is to introduce Hungarian beer and to bring breweries, pub owners and beer-lovers together.
18 microbreweries from all over the country will come to Budapest's Mikszáth Kálmán Square to showcase their products. Visitors will have a chance to taste 'Korty', a famous Hungarian beer speciality, fermented with Tokaji Aszú, and only available on tap in Miskolc and Prague. Other beers to taste are the dark colored, blueberry beer from Békésszentandrás and the millet beer, brewed especially for the festival. Guest breweries from abroad include Gösser from Austria, Kaltenecker from Slovakia and Prague's own Pivovarsky Dùm from the Czech Republic.
While Hungary isn't particularly known for its beer, there are some unique brews and this is a great event to find your new favorite. Be adventurous. Some brews may end up surprising you. There will be 8 pubs on hand to serve specialty pub fare paired with your beer.
Festival hours:
noon to midnight, daily
