Well, today I come to keep them occupied with a bit of information I could gather during my stay (which he still has a few weeks) by the country called United together.
Today's post is of the highest intellectual content, not suitable for people who are interested that gilada of alcohol. Lie. Let's talk about beer gentlemen, sublime drink that a true philosopher of modernity (well, he said the "alcohol", but well worth it anyway) I spend a great phrase. We started with that, and then if I tell you my experience in the breweries to which I was.
uprooted. The four are very good and desirable, each for particular point. If anyone has any other experience about any of them, or else that is not here, would be good to share it! Samuel Adams
( http://www.samueladams.com/index.aspx )
Location: Boston, Massachusetts, USA ( 30 Germania Street, Boston, MA).
Near the orange metro line (station Stony Brook).
tour Cost: free gift with a glass. Obviously
show how the process of beer production. When you finish the tour, you get a glass and you can try 3 of their main beers. Merchandising
: very good and complete, glasses, shirts, sweatshirts very cute.
Comments: During the tour you can taste the main ingredients of beer: hops, barley and wheat. The tour is interesting but does not show much. The main workhorse is the Samuel Adams L ager (a word we say in German means rest), well known beer, plus rich.
Location: Boston, Massachusetts, USA ( 306 Northern Avenue, Boston, MA).
have to take the red subway to South Station. Since there are 10 minute walk to the brewery.
Cost of tour: 5 USS
Merchandising: No penalty is as good, in my opinion not so cute glasses, and the rowers leave something to be desired.
Comments: The tour is very good, showing enough of the production, you can even taste the beer when it is in the middle of his trial. At the end you can try all 11 beers they produce and also a cider. Its strong beers are known as IPA (Indian Pale Ale) beers with fruit tones and a half pretty sweet, although a lot do not like, do not try. Overall the variety is wide and pleasant.
Saint Arnold ( http://www.saintarnold.com )
Location: Houston, Texas, USA (2000 Lyons Avenue, Houston, TX) . Houston has a public transportation system somewhat deficient, but depending on where you are you can get one or two groups. The best way to check this is to maps.google.com.
Cost of the tour : 7 USS, with a glass gifts. Merchandising
: It is small but has good glasses.
Comments: Only has a tour schedule. Once you pay, you get 4 cards. Each is exchanged for a tasting and you can try any of the 5 beers they produce (before or after the tour). An interesting aspect is that the tour is given by the company president, a kind of as simple and accessible, with lots of information. Saint Arnold is the saint of brewers!
Spoetzl Brewery ( http://www.shiner.com ) (also known as the Shiner Brewery)
Location: Shiner, Texas, USA ( 603 East Brewery Street Shiner, TX) . It is up to 126 miles of Houston, 92 miles from San Antonio and 80 miles from Austin. The only option is to arrive by car, is a very small town of only 2000 inhabitants.
Cost of tour: 7 USS
Merchandising: Very good, you got almost everything you can think of.
Comments: Of the 4, the largest brewery by far (800,000 barrels per year of production). The tour will not let you take pictures, which is quite disappointing. There is good information about the production process, and was the only where you saw the bottling process running. When you finish you get 4 cards, each redeemable for a tasting of the 5 beers they produce. The Shiner Bock is by far the most recognized, but all are very good.
As I said before, if anyone has another experience in another brewery (any country) and also went to one of these, is more than welcome to comment for posterity!
Dear friends, I think it was the most informative post I made in my life, I'm quite happy, and I want to proudly impersonating the Beer Baron.
Salut!
