Visit Guinness Storehouse, Dublin, Ireland

The many shades of Guinness

The Guinness brand is synonymous with Ireland but the story is about much more than a beer. There’s a long history intertwined with the country.

Hamburg brewery tours, Germany

The brewery of the Hanseatic League

For hundreds of years, Hamburg was the ‘Brewery of the Hanseatic League’. Then the beer industry disappeared. Now, though, it’s making a comeback!

Budweiser brewery tour, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic

The good, the bud and the ugly

When you think of Budweiser, you probably think of the US beer. But in this Czech city is a beer with the same name that’s caused a century of lawsuits!

Cannstatter Volksfest, Stuttgart beer festival, Germany

It’s all a bit of a blur

It’s all a bit of a blur at the Cannstatter Volksfest. This is the second-largest beer festival in the world and nothing is done in halves!
