Élesztő: craft beer haven (or heaven) in Budapest

For all beer-lovers out there, one place you should never miss is Élesztő, Budapest’s craft beer garden. If you’re a craft beer lover, Élesztő gives you enough reasons to plan a trip to Budapest just so you can visit this place.

First of all, the internal garden is magnificent. Even if you’re not that fond of beer, having a drink here is really wonderful and it is one of Budapest’s nicest terraces. Élesztő was founded in 2013 and offers 21 taps of Hungarian craft beer. 21, indeed! The look and feel is not just that of a craft beer bar though, it’s a village on its own, with a laid back and charming atmosphere. Next to the craft beer bar, they house a coffee shop, a restaurant, a biopub, a brew studio and even a Hopstel (a beer hotel for those of you that stayed a bit too long tasting their wonderful artisan beers 🙂 ). As you can see, just a few hours to visit this site won’t be enough! There is always something new to discover.

Being the first real craft beer bar, Élesztő has elevated the level of beer quality in this city with a rich cultural beer history. Originated from the craft beer festival, the people behind this project truly have a passion for craft beer. This is also reflected in the (changing) menu on offer, serving mostly craft beers from micro-breweries. The building that houses Élesztő is more than 100 years old, we believe this project makes it ready for 100 years more.
