Detailed itinerary
1
Start your beer exploration in the centre of Maribor, where you will join the brewer of the local microbrewery for a 2,5-3 hours.
A guided walk through the city streets will allow you to soak up the city atmosphere, hear its stories, and enjoy the medieval architecture as you stroll the streets between restaurants, street food stands, and cafes where you can sample the beer and food.
2
If the smell of malt surprises you as you walk through the old town of Maribor, know that Pivovarna Maribor is brewing beer. Unfiltered lagers from Slovenian hops and Styrian malt have been brewed here for the last 20 years. On the terrace under the trees, the brewery beer garden offers a brand-new beer experience. You can pour your own beer. Quick taps pour a pint of chilled beer in less than 4 seconds. And some homemade beer sausages from local meats will round off the experience.
This is the last stop. You will learn about about the art of brewing and the thriving craft beer business in Slovenia.
At the end of the tour, your belly will be full and your thirst will be gone. You will also get a good feel of the city center, so you can make further plans on what to do and where to eat. This is a tasty way to start your stay in our beautiful city!
