This week’s post is by Mark from Foosball Zone. We will be taking a look at some of the cities around the world with the best beer culture!
In the event that you are a beer enthusiast and you are searching for your next travel destination, I have a treat for you. What makes beer so good is the fact that it has a significant number of types and styles so you can continually find new flavors. Are you prepared for a tour of the best brew cities in the world?
North America
Denver, Colorado
Whoever said that Americans can’t make fine beer probably doesn’t know about the “Napa Valley of Beer”. They take their beer seriously and the best proof for that is October’s Great American Beer Festival. There you can try beers in more than 85 categories which is pretty impressive. Relax, grab a beer, and play one match on a foosball table and you will see that they know how to enjoy life.
Boston, Massachusetts
The entire area around Boston knows all there is to know about beer. There are more than 15 distilleries in the region and they really love their beer. They talk about it, they make it and, after all, they drink it. Like each beer city on the list, Boston has its own particular fest called Beantown’s Bacon and Beer Fest.
Portland, Oregon
Portland has more than 85 breweries just in the metro zone and the number is rising every day. It is the city of dreams for beer lovers which they must visit right after one European city you will see later in the article. I am pretty sure you will be satisfied with the beer choice in Portland.
Montreal, Quebec
Canadians know their beer and they are taking the task pretty seriously. Montreal is loaded with various kinds of lager and beer enthusiasts love to get together and learn about beer–with one in their hand, of course! Montreal is the strongest beer city in Canada.
Europe
Munich, Germany
The most famous beer festival is in Munich. Oktoberfest is the greatest brew celebration on the planet which lasts 16-18 days. It started in 1810 and it is the place to be for every beer lover. Annually they serve more than 7 million liters of their best brew and I am certain you will love the genuine German lager, the variety they are famous for.
Prague, Czech Republic
Prague is a small city with a rich brewing history. People there really know how to make awesome brew so this city is a mandatory point in beer tour all over Europe. Pilsner, which is a sort of pale ale is actually made near Prague, in a city called Pilsen. The Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption per capita in the world, so you’ll fit right in here!
Dublin, Ireland
I believe that the word Guinness can say a lot about Dublin and Irish beer. Dublin is the famous tourist city and all tourists there must visit the Guinness Storehouse. We all love Ireland for its amazing beer and impressive brandy. It is really a great place to visit.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
There isn’t much I can say in regards to Amsterdam because the name speaks for itself. It is one of the most popular tourist cities, not because of beer, but it could be. One of the must-see things a brew lover needs to find in Amsterdam can be summed up in few words – Heineken, Amstel, and Grolsch. You won’t be able to decide which beer is best!
Asia
Seoul, South Korea
If you ever end up in Seoul, set yourself for a parking area lager. Yes, there you can drink beer in the parking lot where you stand under a tent and that is an experience you won’t easily forget. Seoul’s interest in beer is just getting started and they are putting resources into a brewing industry with a noticeably solid lager focus.
Tokyo, Japan
Who might have realized that lager is prominent in Japan? In the event that you are searching for motivation to visit Tokyo, I would propose this one. Their way of life of drinking lager is unique in relation to our own, so you can try a new brew and grow your social learning on many different levels!
Beer is connecting people all over the world!
