A Warm Welcome to Farsons Brewery

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can be both educational and enjoyable for the whole family. So, when I heard about the Farsons Brewery Tour in Birkirkara, Malta, I knew I had to check it out. Arriving in the late afternoon, we were greeted by the friendly staff at The Brewhouse, and to our delight, there was no queue. The place looked immaculate, with everything well-maintained and exuding a sense of history and pride.

The tour is self-guided, allowing you to explore at your own pace, which is perfect for families with kids who might need a little more time to take everything in. The story of the three entrepreneurial families who came together to create Malta’s leading brewery is fascinating, and the exhibits are engaging enough to keep even the youngest visitors interested. The kids loved learning about the brewing process, and I appreciated the opportunity to share a bit of Malta’s rich cultural heritage with them.

Exploring the Brewery

The Farsons Brewery tour is a delightful blend of history and modernity. As we wandered through the exhibits, we were captivated by the story of how the brewery evolved over the years. The displays are interactive, making it easy for children to engage with the content. My kids were particularly fascinated by the old brewing equipment and the stories of the people behind the brand.

For those who prefer a more structured experience, the tour is available in multiple languages, including German, which we opted for. This made it easy for us to follow along and ensured that we didn’t miss any of the intriguing details. The value for money is excellent, and the experience is both informative and entertaining.

A Rooftop Tasting Experience

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the tasting session on the rooftop terrace. As the sun began to set, we sampled a variety of freshly-brewed beers at The Cisk Tap. The panoramic views of Malta from the rooftop were breathtaking, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration.

For those traveling with children, the rooftop terrace offers a great spot to relax while the kids enjoy some snacks from the eateries within The Brewhouse. The beer tasting was a hit with the adults, and the kids enjoyed the non-alcoholic options available. Before leaving, we made sure to visit the Farsons Brandstore to pick up some souvenirs to remember our visit.

Overall, the Farsons Brewery Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Malta, whether you’re a beer enthusiast or simply looking for a unique family-friendly activity. The combination of history, culture, and stunning views makes it an unforgettable experience.
