Today marks the 50th anniversary of the beer can according to the Rocky Mountain News so we thought we would celebrate by not only having a can of beer ourselves, but also by showing you a video we found on Youtube of the Beer Can Museum in East Taunton around 40 miles south of Boston. The Museum features a collection of more than 3500 different beer cans along with other beer memorabilia. Watch the video above or check out the museum’s official website below.

With Australia Day tomorrow we thought it would be appropriate to mention the Great Aussie Beer Shed. This great attraction is just out side of the Victorian / New South Wales border town of Echuca on the mighty Murray River. This unique and popular tourist attraction features well over 16,000 cans from all around the world plus plenty of other beer related paraphernalia including beer taps, brewery equipment and signage. There are over 5000 square foot of displays and some extremely rare cans and bottles on display. This would have to be one of the world’s best and most extensive beer collections.For more information; http://www.greataussiebeershed.com.au/
What could be a better day out than a few freshly brewed free beers and a look around a brewery? At Ashahi Breweries in NagoyaJapan they are offering this great adventure. Tours are conducted in Japanese and also English. The tour is quiet an eye opener, with the brewery being one of the most modern around. The equipment is very high tech and the fermenting tanks are monstrous. You get a really good understanding of how beer is produced and packaged over about 90 minutes, before ending up at the best bit the tasting room for a few free samples and the odd seafood cracker- delicious. You can stay a little longer and have lunch and pay for a few extra beers if you wish. If you are really nice to the friendly customer relations people they might even send an extra free on your way if things are not very busy. Read the rest of this entry »
