    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.
