From January, the Soproni Klasszikus (Soproni Classic) and the Soproni Frissen Csapolt (Soproni Freshly Tapped) beers will be made of exclusively Hungarian barley
The HEINEKEN Hungária and its suppliers have signed a commitment letter to the Ministry of Agriculture, under which the company will use exclusively Hungarian barley in the production of Hungary's most popular beer, the Soproni.
