Detailed itinerary

A guided visit to the largest brewery in Kamnik and one of the most successful breweries of Slovenia. You will be guided around by one of the brewers and will have a generous beer tasting with beer snacks. The brewery is named after Rudolf Maister, the liberator of the Slovenian northern border, who is for sure Kamnik’s most-respected citizen of all time. The day of his birth is a municipal holiday in the town. Maister Brewery does justice to his name. This brewery is located in the heart of the city, just a stone’s throw from Maister's birthplace. At Maister Brewery, the greatest Slovenian general finally got his own beer. A sip of General Maister beer will march three divisions of cascading hops and a special Citra unit through your palate. More great Slovenes adorn the labels of other beers brewed here. A rocket engineer will awaken your imagination, you will fly on the wings of an aviation pioneer, and even indulge in the creative verses of the first Slovenian female poet.
