Read moreThe visit to the Estrella Galicia Museum was a highly satisfying and enriching experience. From the beginning, the guide's attention and clarity were remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of beer history and the brand's evolution was fully understood. The exposition of beer production, accompanied by smells and sensations, provided an authentic perspective of this craft.
The museum's organization is excellent, combining audiovisual and sensory elements effectively to clearly convey Estrella Galicia's essence. The focus on traditions, along with the brand's futuristic and growth-oriented vision, was particularly enlightening.

Read moreReally cool beer museum from Estrella Galicia (it reminded me a lot of the Guinness Museum in Dublin). So, there were a lot of details that really stood out. It was a very well organized tour. When you give your name for the reservation you receive a bracelet that identifies you at all times whilst in the museum. As soon as your group goes up the stairs you pass your bracelet at the turnstile and your name appears on the screen with a welcome message. Throughout the tour, the guide explains the beer- making process and you even get to try several different beers at their different stages of processing. The best moment, of course, is the cafeteria where you get a beer (of your choice) and some Bonilla crisps. There's a formula 1 Ferrari car that you can take a picture with and many other photo opportunities throughout the modern building. The gift seemed pricey to me, but I'm sure that others might think otherwise. The famous Galicia ceramic brand Sargadelos has an Estrella Galicia commemorative beer mug at 80 euros, for example. There are some t-shirts and other typical gifts too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Coruña. Parking is easy...
