MONYO Brewing

The MONYO Brand: Our Values

Craft beer and soda are experimental genres - our values help us stay true to ourselves

01

Innovative

Each year, we develop 25–30 entirely new recipes: beers, beer products, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages under the MONYO brand and our partners'. More than half of our product range is renewed annually. We continuously experiment with ingredients and flavor combinations because innovation is a fundamental operational principle for us.

02

Creativity

When developing our new products, we respect the best traditions of beer and beverage culture, but we do not imitate. Our goal is to create a genuine, individual, and original 'MONYO' character, taste, and aroma experience with unique ingredients, new flavor profiles, and bold combinations. Each new product is a new story - told in its own voice.

03

Humor

We love working in a positive atmosphere and we showcase this on our labels. Our characters, stories, and visual world are often inspired by our team and our own stories. Humor is not a superficial gag for us, but an integral part of our brand—a reflection of our free and curious spirit. This is what makes MONYO approachable and lovable for us.

04

Quality

We work with modern German and Italian equipment, our own laboratory, and a rigorous internal control system. Additionally, we collaborate with independent, accredited laboratories to ensure quality and food safety. Our goal is simple: every box and every cup should represent the same reliable standard.

MONYO Story

Milestones in MONYO's History

Milestones in MONYO's History

MONYO Brewing is among the country's first new wave breweries, a 100% Hungarian-owned company. It was founded in 2014 in Kőbánya by Ádám Pein and Anti Németh with the goal of creating Craft Beer 2.0. The idea stemmed from the fact that the quality of domestic craft beers was highly variable at the time – a brewery without compromises was needed.


Anti was one of the first homebrewers in the country: he went from using a kitchen pot to guerrilla brewing, and his innovative recipes became increasingly well-known. He was so captivated by the creative world of brewing that he eventually dedicated all his energy to it.


Together, they invested all mobilizable capital and momentum and practically built MONYO Brewing in half a year. The goal was clear from the very first moment – and remains the same today: to brew uncompromising beers with character, a story, and a unique voice.

2014 - Company Formation

In 2014, MONYO was officially established, marking the beginning of the company's first genuine operational period on Maglódi Street. This was the point when brewing transitioned from experimentation to a structured, corporate setting. The initial facility was not only a manufacturing site but also the foundation upon which the brand could be built later.

Meaning of "MONYO"

What doeas "MONYO" mean?

What doeas "MONYO" mean?

The name MONYO originates from the North American Cajun culture's word mojo. The meaning of mojo: inner life energy, charisma, charm, that intangible magical power that resides within a person and makes things happen. A kind of intellectual and creative charge.


The founders are huge fans of the Austin Powers films, where the term “mojo” is translated in Hungarian as “monyó”. The word was simultaneously playful, distinctive, and exactly expressed the energy they wanted to infuse into the brewery. That’s how the name became: MONYO.


For us, MONYO is not just a brand name. It represents the energy that the team puts into every brew. From the product developer to the marketer, office manager, and warehouse staff, everyone contributes to the birth of a new beer or soft drink. MONYO is that collective creative force that is invisibly but tangibly present in every can.


Because beer is not a game.
But the passion and life energy from which it is born – that is MONYO itself.
