Ljubljana has a very long tradition of
brewing, proof of which are 3,900-year-old
beer barrels excavated at the Ljubljana
Marshes. The earliest known brewery
in Ljubljana dates back at least to 1592,
and by 1796, the city had six breweries.
Recent years have seen a rapid growth
in the popularity of craft beers made by
different microbreweries in Ljubljana and
its surrounding area.
During the tour, you will visit five different
drink outlets, including a pub, where
you will taste eight different beers made
by five different breweries, two based
in Ljubljana and three in other parts of
the Central Slovenia region. You will also
visit the Brewery Museum, set up by the
Pivovarna Union brewery, where the
popular Union beer has been brewed since
1864, and round off your experience at the
Pivnica Union pub.
