Photo Diary: Breweries
Beer lovers come from around the world to experience the taste of local brews in Amsterdam, Portland, and Tokyo. Heineken, one of the world’s most well known beers, started in Amsterdam, and is the perfect end (or break) from a day of touring around the city. Portland has earned its name as the “beer capital of the world” from its 32 breweries inside the city limits–more breweries than any other city in the world. One of the many award-winning breweries is Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), famous for their organic blends from local ingredients. Asahi, meaning “Rising Sun” in Japanese, began in Osaka, and has grown to be a world renowned beer. Take a tour through Asahi Super Dry Hall at the brewery’s world headquarters in Tokyo. Just look for the “Golden Flame” perched on top of the building, recognized as one of Tokyo’s most modern structures.
