Without any preliminaries, let us drown into the delightful details of the promised destinations and get inebriated (even if it is only virtual):
Dublin: Ireland’s famous city is famous for more than one reason. Its natural beauty and exuberance apart, Dublin boasts of some fine breweries which are equally touristy. The pint glass, the most humongous in the world, is a history in itself. You can check it out at The Guinness Storehouse. Plus, the city serves you beer at every nook and corner. It is a must-visit destination for beer buddies.
Where: Europe
Why to visit: Guinness Storehouse, rich drinking culture
Amsterdam: While the city is notoriously popular for hiding many strip clubs, it is also known for offering a big tub of beer to its visitors. Belgium, noted for its gigantic breweries, is just a stone’s throw away. There is Heineken too, a local brand of beer that will have you licking the glass ravenously for that final greedy drop. And then there is the brewery called Brouwerij‘t IJ which should be explored by your gang of beer lovers.
Where: Europe, Netherlands
Why to visit: Heineken, Brouwerij‘t IJ, open culture, cosmopolitanism
Goa: Goa is well-known for its vociferous lifestyle. As a tourist, you can drop all pretences; sink into a hedonistic routine for a few days and drink and party to your liver’s delight. Beer is a staple drink for locals as well as the ramblers. A deluge of foreign visitors, Goa is quite unlike the rest of India. Here, beer is not looked down upon as something sacrilegious but is consumed in bucketful quantities by both men and women. It is needless to say that its azure skyline, the cobalt sea and the lazy lanes make every visitor feel the necessity of indulging into beer. Titos, the most famous beer bar is a must-visit.
Where: Asia, India
Why to visit: Silent Noise party, Titos, the beer culture
Delhi: Delhi may not give a run for money to Goa since the capital city still has to maintain decorum before twilight. But once the sun is down and offices get shut, the new generation of office-goers (yes, women too) make a beeline for its stock of screaming clubs and rejuvenating bars. The Monkey Bar deserves a special mention for its outlandish interiors. But it won’t be hard to run into a plethora of cool drinking places in this city. The historic city does becharm you with a dose of urbanity. No wonder, some say that history and beer go hand in hand.
Where: Asia, India
Why to visit: Monkey Bar, an interesting and thriving youth culture, an infectious combo of history and beer
Prague: Prague is a roller-coaster of a destination where it is impossible not to get drunk. Its sound-and-dance culture is a strong motivating factor behind the thriving party culture and tourists are always in a mood to make merry. Historic places too add a flavor to the trip and if you are a compulsive drinker, you dare not miss out on the Czech Beer Festival. It is a 17-day festival held annually. You can expect a tsunami of beer of dozens of brands at this event. Also, missing out on U Fleku would be a sin. It is a 15th century beer bar that will creep you, delight you and leave you wanting for more.
Where: Europe, Czech Republic
Why to visit: Beer festivals esp. Czech Beer Festival, the historic tavern of U Fleku
