Description:
Located in the northern side of Bhutan, Beer Factory is sited amidst the beautiful fields. The brewery is not only famous for being the first and sole microbrewery but it also unique because of its owner Frits Maurer. Fritz Maurer has quite a history as being the first foreigner able to travel to Bhutan after being invited by the king. With his support of introducing brown Swiss cows in the country, Bhutanese people saw a gradual increase in the production of milk. He has the rare honor of being a Bhutanese citizen, even though he was born in Switzerland. After getting married with a local of Bumthang valley, he set up his own brewery and at the present time it is run by his son. At Bumthang Brewery only 3000 bottle of Red Panda Beer are produced per month and are recycled backed in production. The beer is brewed in the old school way in small batches, and carefully observed every step of the way during cooking, cooling, and fermentation. Each bottle is individually filled, capped, and labeled. When you visit, for only five dollars you get both the brewery tour and your own bottle. Seeing the whole process in Bumthang Brewery can be quite fascinating experience like seeing being in an episode of food factory. The brewery is really small but the visit can be worth an astounding memory to cherish life time.
