Raise a glass of your favorite brew because it's International Beer Day! In honor of this special occasion, explore how beer is made by checking out some of the coolest, most unique breweries around the world.
Belgium: Westvleteren Brewery
Trappist beer is only produced in monasteries. There are six such breweries in Belgium and only five others around the world. The Westvleteren/St. Sixtus monks have been brewing award-winning beers since 1839 and show no signs of slowing down. The bottled beer has no labels, only color-coded caps to differentiate the three types of brews.
Norway: Svalbard Bryggeri
The Svalbard Brewery takes “cool” to a whole new level: It's just south of the North Pole! Located on an island with more polar bears than inhabitants, it's the northernmost brewery in the world. They use water from the 2,000-year old Bogerbreen glacier to make their beer, which you can taste on a brewery tour.
Vietnam: Pasteur Street Brewing Company
Pasteur Street is one of the brewery's leading the way in Vietnam's craft beer revolution. They use American-style craft brewing techniques along with fresh, local Vietnamese ingredients for a unique combination. You can try their 200+ beers at five taprooms in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Austria: Starkenberger
Do you love beer so much that you wish you could swim in it? Well, you can, at Starkenberger in Austria. The brewery's old fermentation cellar houses the world's first beer pools. They hold 12,000 liters of water and 300 liters of beer and are said to ensure supple skin and help circulation. Make a reservation and try to resist drinking the bathwater.
United States: MobCraft
Think you have a great idea for a tasty beer, but no brewing equipment? Check out MobCraft in Wisconsin. They crowdsource all of the beers they brew. That means members of the public suggest their recipes and then vote for winners, which then get brewed. It's about as close as you can get to the brewing process without being a brewmaster.
Australia: Granite Belt Brewery
With breweries becoming their own tourist destinations, some are branching out to providing accommodations, activities, and restaurants. Granite Belt in Queensland has 19 private cedar cabins spread about 30 acres of land that guests can rent. Besides a taproom, there's a gourmet restaurant and plenty of outdoor activities so you don't even have to leave the brewery's grounds.

Hi @LaceyM
It is amazing to know some unbelievable facts about Beer, like " They use water from the 2,000-year old Bogerbreen glacier to make their beer ". Just to know, what is the impact of 2000 year old water on beer taste or quality ? Does it change taste, aroma, stability or anything else.
I have very little knowledge about beer/liquor.
You had asked one question, Where’s your favorite place to get a beer? Ours is "Dry" state, so to get beer I may have to drive 300/400 km to other states. And even though if it is available also, I may have to do empty mug toast with you.
Cheers !!

I wasn’t sure if I would give you a Kudo for this post. Of course nice and at least Austria...
But how you could miss Germany, Czech and Poland??? Is like writing a post about wine without Italy and France. 🤔🤔🤔
(only jocking up to the next , )
I was such upset, that I did google with once a brewery and did walk there!!!
Now I‘m sitting in a craft beer brewery:
Browar Stu Mostów
Jana Długosza 2, 51-162 Wrocław, Polen

A taste tray in front of me. Is my first time due to you.... 😉
I will invite you to Central Europe to see the fantastic beer art here.
In in the background you see the place they make it. It is only 3 years old. The time of reinventing beer did come!

@AlejandraMaria, uff, when I posted here you did give me to an other post a Kudo and I did feel bet, that I only named France and Italy....
Spain has some very good wines of course, but Italy wine is outstanding.
I wait for @AntonellaGr and @ErmesT when the wine meet up will come 😉😃😋
