Mad pick up driver
The trip around the Brewhouse was very good. However the driver who picked us up from the hotel drove like a mad man and it was very uncomfortable

Description
This tour includes transport to visit the home of Cisk beer to discover the rich story behind Malta`s favorite beers at the Farsons Brewery in Birkirkara. An hour-long self-exploratory audio tour takes you behind the brand from grain to bottle. Beer was not always the drink of choice in Malta. Discover how the arrival of the British Armed forces ingrained a trend that tipped the balance of Malta's drinking habits forever. The 1950 Farsons Brewery itself is a true feat of engineering and architecture, designed with a single objective in mind – to brew the world’s finest beer, in the most efficient way possible. Learn how decades of innovation, consistency and brand loyalty cemented Farsons' award-winning beers as essential elements of the Maltese identity. Finish your tour sampling Farsons lagers and ales at the very first Cisk-themed bar offering panoramic views of Malta from its rooftop terrace. After the tour, shop for souvenirs at the Farsons Brandstore.

O
A wonderful fresh experience at the Farsons Brewery heritage center.
I have passed the Brewery many times and never had the opportunity to visit. It looks amazing from the outside and was drawn by the copper brewing pots show cased over two floors giving that full steam ahead feeling .An amazing clean welcoming entrance that has so many interesting things going on in any direction one looks. Spread five floors one is kept busy when learning about all the processes and History of the present company and the company roots before.

The Brewery Experience & beer tasting
Interesting place, it tells the success of the founders, the production of beer, the qualities and combinations of the beers produced. Finally you can enjoy a pint or a taste of 5 different 100cl beers enjoying a panorama from the fifth floor of the building.
