Beverage Museums of the World

When travelling overseas, there are lots of things to see and do. Many of us party animals limit ourselves to the bars and nightclubs. The thought of heading to visit a museum I assume, is pretty boring? I know, standing around looking over art, pictures and old daggy bits of paraphernalia seems like the last thing you want to do on your holiday. There are however, a couple of museums I suggest checking out
Some of your favourite beverages have found homes in museums right around the world. Beer seems to be one of the most popular beverages according to the many international museums commemorating the drink, but others have popped up in the last few years. Here are Nastasia Campanella’s top four international beverage museums.
Four: Tequila Museum, Mexico
Opened in early 2010, the museum offers a complete sensery experience into the quintessential Mexican drink. Visiters to the museum will be able to smell and taste agave [the plant used to make the drink]. You can learn about the different types of tequila and discover the history behind the different methods of making the drink. I personally love that you can access the area via a train called “The Tequila Express”! Awesome! The train ride offers tequila tasting, food sampling and mariachi music, and obviously has a bar where you can sample it for yourself.
Three: Musee Du Vin, Paris
This museum is just a little look into the passionate love the French have for wine. If you’re a fan of a good drop this is the place for you. Here, you’ll find old vats, collectable bottles, instruments, objects and tools relating to vineyards and the historic wine culture. The story of how wine production has changed over time is told through pictures, articles, portraits, songs and weekly talks. There are glasses, decanters, corkscrews, barrels and wine presses on show. There is also a separate section where waxworks explain the wine making process and there is even a sculpture of Louis Pasteur – the man responsible for reviving the French wine culture.
Two: The Vodka Museum, Amsterdam
The museum features a small modern exhibit of the history of vodka (which is the 3rd most popular drink in bars and nightclubs worldwide behind beer and wine.) Old traditional bottles are on show here in all shapes and sizes from the one that looks like a machine gun to the bottle shaped like one of the Kremlins. The walls of the museum are lined with anti alcoholism propaganda and video instillations are set up around the place showing short films about the life of the tough drink. The museum also contains a bar, a lounge area and a shop selling more than 80 types of vodka. Most fun however, is when the professional bartenders give tasting and snacking tours. Here you’ll learn all about the long history of vodka, the interesting snacking culture which goes along with that, the production process and of course, the types and tastes of the drink.
One: Beer Museum, Japan
This place pays homage to the popular beverage right from the second you enter. In the entrance stands a large copper beer tank. One gallery contains marketing posters from as far back as 1950, while the area known as the Magic Vision Theatre shows a 3-D film projection of a made-up beer story. There is a wonderful chronological story told through colourful pictures as you walk around the museum, but one downfall is that all the facts and tails are written in Japanese and only Japanese. Sampling tables are dotted around the museum and the gift shop has some of the most amazing items to buy for the folks like beer soap and beer jell.
Or… you could just get drunk in any old bar, nightclub or pub

The Cooper’s Hotel, Newtown, Sydney – Review
Situated in the heart of the enigmatic Inner West suburb of Newtown, the Coopers Hotel can hold its head up high as one of the more notable bars in the area. As a long time Newtown local, the Coopers has forever been one of the destinations of choice on one of the many bar crawls I’ve done over the last 5 years or so.

Helvetica Bar, Perth, Australia – Review
Small bar fever has hit the 6000′s. With reforms to licensing legislation incorporating a new permit for smaller scale venues, it seems that in the blink of an eye an elite cohort of upmarket bars (aka the ‘hidden doorway’ club) have mushroomed around the city like nobody’s business.

The Sydney clubbing scene provides an eclectic mix of class, sophistication, casual and messy venue’s to spend a weekend in. Whether you are heading to King’s Cross, Circular Quay, the CBD or the suburbs, the city of Sydney provides revellers with a little taste of everything. In saying that though, some venues out there possess one spectacular quality that seldom others can replicate. A single quality, endowed on venues based on their location, and more specifically, proximity to the harbour.

The Best View In Melbourne – Rooftop Bar – Review
It appears that we Melbournians enjoy a good work out before drinking, to me the idea is stupid but to the owners of Rooftop bar it apparently makes perfect sense. You really deserve an internationally recognised medal ceremony when you reach the Rooftop bar; I honestly lost count how many flights I managed to gasp up. Never fear, this place is laziness and smoker friendly, with an oh-so tiny elevator that apparently runs too. Rooftop is one of Melbourne’s most amazing venues during summer.

The Order of Melbourne – Review
Hiding unassumingly up roughly 7 long flights of stairs, you’ll hopefully manage to discover the wonders that are, The Order of Melbourne. A bit of an institute amongst locals and RMIT students, the bar is hidden, like most of Melbourne’s gems, behind a small hole in the wall. For a less ‘fashionable’ version of the Cookie, Toff and Rooftop, and a whole lot more atmospheres, the Order is well worth the hike up the stairs to enjoy a relaxed, positive atmosphere.

Laneway Bars In Melbourne – Little Peninsula – Review
Little Peninsula is an aptly named bar as it is very small and hidden away in Little Lonsdale Street amongst all the bigger streets in Melbourne’s CBD. While its secludedness may add some charm to the place for some people, it also makes it a very easy place to miss. Considering most bar hoppers and clubbers would stick to the main streets to find a place to drink up at, they would only be heading towards Little Peninsula
