When Shane, the head brewer of Neon Raptor came to Budapest last November, none of us would have thought that we were ending up inviting the brewery to BPBW 2022, but it has obviously turned out this way. No regrets. He’s coming again this September. Sometimes things are really complicated. Sometimes they are this simple. (Oh, the beers he brought with him were astonishing, we almost forgot to mention this true fact.)
30 various local and regional breweries from abroad and the specialties of the most important domestic beer shops between September 7-10., for 4 days again KRAFT Sörfesztivál 2023 in the renewed Dürer Garden!
🍺 We use tokens, and or our own festival glasses during the Kraft festival
🍺 Tokens / festival glasses can be purchased not only with cash, but of course with a credit-debit card on the spot, but for the beers you can only pay with tokens of course, or online in advance
🍺 Multiple token points are placed to avoid the possibility of long queues
🍺 Exhibitors only tap beer at the stands in the official KRAFT 2023 logo glassware purchased by the guests on the spot, or brought from home during the previous KRAFT or BPBW events
🍺 Token redemption is not available this year either, however, bring your tokens purchased during the previous years, you will be able to pay with them in the same way, and we will soon publish a list of venues who will also accept your remaining tokens at any time during the year when buying beers
🍺 Beer can be tapped into a glass in the quantity only which the glass is calibrated for (with a calibration mark)
🍺 The price of one token is 400 HUF
🍺 The 2023 KRAFT glassware can be purchased at the list price of 2000 HUF at the token points, but we recommend the following constructions instead:
DOUBLE TASTING SESSIONS / FRIDAY – SATURDAY 24-25th MAY 2024Two 6 hours long tasting sessionS (from 14:00-20:00) with unlimited beer tastings included in the ticket price on the 24-25th May 2024.
The concept for both the Friday and Saturday tasting sessions is 2 (+2) taps for all breweries, and 1 keg of each beer per session. Once a keg is done, the beer is gone for that session. Breweries are allowed to do a beer change at halftime of the session (so at 5pm) on both taps.
This means you can taste up to 4 beers from a brewery per session, and we will have completely different beer lists on both Friday and Saturday.
A UNIQUE VINTAGE TASTING GLASSOnce you check in at the festival, you will get a unique tasting glass with the annual BPBW logo on it. The tasting quantity is 1dl for each beer (0.5dl for the more exclusive / strong ones) to make sure that you can taste as many beers as possible. Needless to say, but feel free to ask for 0.5dl only from any type of beer to try most of them and survive the long sessions.
If you lose or break your tasting glass you can buy another one at our official merch desk for 2000 HUF.
EARLY ENTRYSkip the lines, enter the Tasting Sessions at 13:30 and start tasting beers half an hour earlier than the official kickoff.
AFTERPARTIES / FRIDAY – SATURDAY 24-25th MAY 2024The core events, the Tasting Sessions will be followed by huge afterparties including the wildest bands and performers from Hungary’s diverse music scene.
After the Tasting Session the day is not over yet, the evening goes on with live bands, selectors, DJs playing great music at the same venue, and there will be a special selection of beers on tap from the BPBW 2024 participating breweries. Two festivals for a price of one, we could say!
ENCORE DAY UNLIMITED / SUNDAY 26th MAY 2024On Sunday the 26th May 2024 an Encore Day will take place at Dürer Kert, the same location as of the Tasting Sessions. Here we can neither guarantee personal representation from all breweries, nor that all beers from the Friday-Saturday Tasting Sessions will be available.

The discount applies to all canned/bottled beers and merch bought at the BPBW bottle shop and merch stands.
