On Saturday: Party in the Brewery
According to varosban.blog.hu, Dreher is organizing Dreherfeszt this Saturday.
The beer festival will be organized in the huge yard of the brewery, in Jászberényi Road. Dreher brewery is an important tourist attraction in Budapest. They regularly receive visitors, who roam the area with narrow gauge railway. But it is not a museum, but an active factory site: Dreher, Arany Ászok, Kőbányai, HB, Kanizsai and a many other smaller beer brands are made here.
The area is huge: the 500X900 metres site impresses you for the first sight, the barrel blasting machine factory, the Hetes site (name of the packaging department), the brewhouse, the fermentaion tanks and the huge silos are taking us around and we have not even seen the complete picture, varosban.blog.hu says. Beyond the walls you can see the barley store of the former Royel Brewery. The are where the unpacked boxes are, would be enough for a small plane’s runway too.
Inside the walls you can see more interesting things. There is a 300 thousand litres beer-pool, the brewhouse restored between 1995-2002. 57 thousand glasses of beer are made hourly here, but you can here other interesting datas. The first memory of the Hungarian brewery is from 1152. To the 14th century, brewery was the business of women. You can see the 32km long underground tunnel. In the Dreher Museum, you can get know the history of the Dreher family, varosban.blog.hu says.
Dreherfeszt beer festival will be organized this Saturday from 2 p.m., we can taste special beers, walk around the huge factory and yard. From 16:30 there will be concerts such as Carbonfools and Intim Torna Illegál. The entry is HUF 1000.
