Wrexham Lager Co expands into Hungary

Wrexham Lager Beer

The Wrexham Lager Beer Co has announced its expansion into the Hungary market, securing a partnership with Drink Station, a leading importer and distributor of beer in the country.

Servicing both the on and off trade, Hungary will see Wrexham Lager, Wrexham Export and Wrexham Pilsner hit the market in the 440ml can, 330ml bottle and 5L keg formats.


Now co-owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, alongside the Roberts family from Wrexham who took over the running of the brewery in 2011, the new listing follows the company’s recent successful expansion into the US, Australian and Scandinavian markets.

CEO of The Wrexham Lager Beer Co said: “Expanding into Hungary marks an exciting new chapter for Wrexham Lager Beer Co as we continue to grow our presence throughout Europe,” James Wright, chief executive, said.

“We believe our authentic beer, steeped in over 100 years of history, will not only appeal to Hungarian beer lovers, but also introduce them to a new dimension of flavour forged by our commitment to proper lagering.

“2025 is set to be another year of significant growth for Wrexham Lager Beer Co and we look forward to seeing how our product lands in Hungary.”

The Wrexham Lager Beer Co produces high-quality lager beer made with the finest ingredients, using a unique original recipe that is over 140 years old and still to this day follows those traditional Bavarian methods of its founders.
