Hi everyone

A few weeks back it was Fathers Day here in the UK and amongst the amazing gifts from my family were a pair of tickets for next years BPBW 2025 - Budapest Beer Week 🇭🇺

It's a week centred around beer with a dedicated beer festival on the Friday and Saturday (we will be attending the 6 hour Saturday session) and we'll be in town from Friday to Monday

It promises to be very much like the MBCC festival in Copenhagen with the whole town of Budapest getting in on the act with beer related events (tap takeovers, meet the brewers etc) plus there will be an after show party with live bands playing after the festival ends.

It's been 10 years since we last visited Budapest so a revisit is well overdue, add to that a beer festival and it looks like onto another winner.

Hi Jay,
That looks like a fantastic event!
78 Euro for a one-day session incl. unlimited beer tastings for 6 hours   
And there's much more : https://bpbw.hu/en/tickets/
We are just back from two weeks of Tenerife. I already needed to go to my work yesterday though.
Normally, we would have been to Thailand, but plans needed to change as Katrien her mum has passed away the Friday before we wanted to head to Thailand.
That whole trip needed to be cancelled and I booked a two weeks trip to Tenerife that happened after the funeral day. Pfffff......
Those were very sad moments when you see Julia (Katrien's mum) passing away in front of your eyes. Those images will never get out of my mind, damn....
That trip to Tenerife was a nice salving moment, and a good thing to distract our minds from our beloved mum
Anyway, we had some amazing moments at Tenerife and many were also beery.
I'll try to make a report asap !!
Cheers,
Filip

Hi folks,

There's been a couple of changes regarding our proposed trip to Budapest - we were due to fly out on the Friday, just 4 days after getting back home from MBCC in Copenhagen.

To do two intense beers festivals (coupled with travelling on top) in the course of a week is maybe pushing things a bit too much, there's little point in being burned out in Budapest after indulging in 4 days in Copenhagen.

Linda is sorting out the tickets and money put aside is now going towards a family trip in September - we're heading back to Malaga, a place that proved a big hit with everyone.


So we can now fully devote the week to MBCC - beery events and lists of participating brewers are now starting to be released 🍻


Cheers
Jay
