“Insane!! One of the best things we did! Would recommend to all”
Spend 210 minutes with an English-speaking guide exploring Munich’s beer culture, sampling several brews, visiting the Beer and Oktoberfest Museum, and sharing a Bavarian dinner. Guides such as Sam, Dan, Aileen, and Thomas bring the stories to life, while vegetarian meals require advance notice.
“This was a great introduction to Munich as this was my first time in Munich.”
Spend about three hours at MEGA, Spain’s first beer museum inside the active Estrella Galicia factory. A Spanish-speaking guide leads you through eight hands-on sections, the brewery and boiler room, then teaches the Perfect Service pour before five beer tastings, an extra beer, snacks, and a gift kit.
“This was a great tour if you enjoy beer. This is a very popular beer here in Spain. They go through the history and beer making process. Lots of beer tasting after and they even show you how to do a proper pour. We also received lots of free Read more”
Visit Prague’s Beer Museum for an English-language tour covering Czech brewing, malt, hops, and historic cellars. Taste three Czech beers, including samples in the Beer Chapel, then bottle, cork, and label your own beer as a take-home souvenir.
“Was really funny, easy, short and very good value for money”
Spend an afternoon with Broome and Around visiting the Broome Historical Museum, Matso’s Brewery, and Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. Your guide, possibly Georgia, Gabby, Dooma, or another local host, handles transport, commentary, admissions, and timing for a small group of up to 16.
“Our Beautiful Tour Guide Gabby.She was a little young lady.Her passion and Knowledge of Broome was excellent. 😊”
Visit Bruges Beer Experience in the Old Town for an interactive look at brewing, Trappist and abbey beers, food pairing, and beer culture. Your iPad Mini audio guide comes in 10 languages. Add a €6 tasting afterward, with snacks available downstairs.
“tutto ottimo, soprattutto per la presenza di un'audioguida in italiano non così scontata in Belgio. Per il resto se nel reparto bar ci fosse una più ampia scelta di cibo sarebbe molto apprezzato da chi predilige bere a stomaco pieno”
Visit Plzeň’s Brewery Museum in a preserved 15th-century brewing house. See medieval cellars, an old malt house, historic pubs, and the world’s smallest jug. Your ticket includes a 0.3-liter Pilsner Urquell tasting for visitors aged 18 and over, with SmartGuide content in English or German.
“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, kein großes Museum in der Gegend. Keller. Ein kostenloser Becher natürliches böhmisches Bier für Feinschmecker wie mich. Einen Besuch wert. Ich empfehle es. Ich habe es ohne einen Führer getan.”
At Prague’s Czech Beer Museum on Husova Street, explore beer history at your own pace, taste three Czech beers, and try drafting or labeling your own bottle. The self-guided visit takes about 75 minutes. It is in English, welcomes up to 25 people, and includes no hotel transport.
“Enjoyable and informative, this little gem has a sly sense of humor and tasty beer samples. You can drink with a Czech border guard or a slightly worse for the wear Franz Kafka in the cozy confines of a beer cellar after you've learned all there is to know about the origins and production of beer.”
Explore Stiegl’s 400-square-meter Beer Museum in Salzburg, follow its brewing story with a free six-language audioguide, watch a 270-degree film, and enjoy two tastings. You’ll tap one beer yourself, then try a Stiegl craft beer in the shop. Guided brewery tours are not included.
“I didn’t know what to expect but maybe the summer time is better to visit. There are many other things I’d recommend”
