My honey wanted to share an experience from his past with me and suggested a brewery tour. He called the guest relations number for the information and made plans for us to tour one early afternoon. I’d been on two factory tours in my life, one to a pulp and paper mill and the other to a food processing plant. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
The self-guided audio tour wasn’t working that day and the tour guide said they were giving tours old-style and told us how much she and the other guides were enjoying giving the tour again. We learned the ingredients for making beer, saw the process that takes time and patience. My favorite part was learning about their recycling procedures, water treatment and energy production and use. At the end of the tour we were able to try samples. I was impressed by the complexity of the process for a drink that has been a staple beverage worldwide for centuries.
Want to tour a factory? Choose your favorite product or one you would like to learn more about. Call the guest relations number or visit the website for tour information. Some companies may charge a nominal fee though most tours are free because the manufacturers benefit from showcasing their products. My honey enjoyed the samples and company history so much he chose to switch brands and I can vouch for the flavor of the non-alcoholic beer.
Manufacturers are pleased to present their environmentally conscious procedures and future plans to produce their products. Learning together is a good activity for couples or families especially on vacation/holiday.
THE END
