Fabrica de Bere Bună
At the foot of the Zaganu Peak (1817 m) in the Carpathian mountains, in the village of Maneciu-Ungureni, near the Cheia resort in Prahove, there is the Good Brewery, the place where a handful of skilled people produce the local beer – called Zăganu.
The good beer factory is a small, independent craft brewery, one of the few in the country, a uninational company, not a multinational one, with few but passionate employees.
We are proud to say that the Buna Beer Factory will NOT produce millions of hectoliters of beer.
Thus, you will find the Buna Beer Factory in the village of Maneciu-Ungureni, Maneciu Commune, Prahova County, on national road 1A, 15km from Valenii de Munte in the direction of Cheia/Brasov.
At the moment, the factory cannot be visited, and the store is temporarily closed, to be opened soon.
