The Saku brewery has a pub where you can have lunch during the day or buy takeaway food. The weekends offer live music with ever-changing music groups. In summer, an outdoor terrace for up to 25 people provides space for not only the best beers in the Saku Brewery, but also dishes. A table for making Lego bricks is available for children. So can the whole family Visit beer museum exhibition about the history and traditions of brewing. The exhibition can also be found in the premises of the brewery pub.
