If you’re planning a trip to Malta and looking for an experience that blends history and a taste of local culture, a visit to The Farsons Brewery Experience at The Brewhouse is a must. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast, a history buff, or just curious to explore one of Malta’s most iconic landmarks, this self-guided tour offers a memorable insight into how Malta’s most iconic beer came to life.
Booking your visit is easy! Here’s everything you need to know to plan your trip.
Step 1: Pick Your Ticket Type
Prices vary depending on age and eligibility:
• Adults: €15
• Seniors, students, and people with a disability badge: €10
• Youths (12–16 years old): €5
• Children under 12: Free
Each ticket gives access to the self-guided audio tour, available in multiple languages, including Maltese, English, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Polish. You also get a complimentary tasting tray of five 100ml beers at the end of your visit for those over 17 years old, or you can opt for a pint of beer instead.
Step 2: Choose When to Visit
The Farsons Brewery Experience is open Monday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm, with last admission at 5pm. The tour usually lasts about an hour, but the format lets you take it at your own pace, and you can spend as much time as you’d like at the rooftop bar during the beer tasting. The flexibility makes it easy to fit into your schedule, whether you’re visiting for a few hours or spending the whole day exploring The Brewhouse’s other venues.
If you’re hoping to avoid crowds, weekday mornings are usually quieter. Afternoons and weekends tend to have a livelier atmosphere, especially when combined with lunch or a drink at The Cisk Tap, the rooftop bar.
Step 3: Book Online or On Site
The easiest way to secure your spot is by booking directly through our website, where you can choose your preferred date and time slot. You’ll receive instant confirmation and can show your digital ticket upon arrival.
If your plans change, you can edit your booking directly from your end, making it easy to adjust the date or time when needed.
Alternatively, you can purchase tickets in person at the Farsons Brandstore on the day of your visit, subject to availability. This option works well for those who prefer to plan spontaneously or are already visiting nearby attractions.
Step 4: Arrive and Enjoy the Experience
When you arrive at The Brewhouse, you’ll be welcomed into the restored 1950s former Farsons brewery. The self-paced audio tour guides you through the story of Simonds Farsons Cisk, from its early days to its lasting impact on Malta’s beer culture.
Along the way, you’ll see vintage brewing equipment, multimedia displays, and insights into how iconic beers like Cisk came to be. The tour finishes with a visit to The Cisk Tap, where you can drink your complimentary beer and enjoy rooftop views.
After your tour, take time to explore everything else The Brewhouse has to offer. Browse the Farsons Brandstore for exclusive merchandise and gifts, grab a bite at one of the on-site restaurants, such as The Chapels Gastrobrewpub with its in-house microbrewery, or Kettles Café Bistro Bar, offering a welcoming feel and serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can also simply relax with a drink in hand at The Cisk Tap.
Many visitors find that a few hours easily turn into a full afternoon – and it’s easy to see why. The mix of history, architecture, and good beer makes The Brewhouse one of the best destinations in Malta.
