BHS overseas visit to BUDAPEST
We are proposing to meet on Tuesday evening at a city centre restaurant which sells local beer. On Wednesday, we are hoping to visit a modern microbrewery; and then we will visit the historic Dreher Sörgyárak brewery. Anton Dreher was an Austrian brewer who was an important figure in the development of pale lager. In 1840, he invented a new style of beer that became known as the Viennese style, still one of the major beer-styles of Europe – his name lives on with the Hungarian brewery. On Thursday, we expect to visit a central specialist craft beer pub; and later the Kaltenberg brewpub, which was founded in the dying days of Communist rule by the German brewery of the same name. On Friday, there will be a visit to a 'Ruin Bar' which serves many interesting beers; and in the evening, a farewell meal in a city restaurant. Participants will travel to and from Budapest under their own arrangements, but hotel accommodation can be arranged. Return on the Saturday, or later if you wish.
