点评:I love beer and I love breweries. Beer always tastes so much better at the source. I've toured the major breweries & craft breweries in the U.S. and Europe. They could all take a lesson from The Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX. Parking is plentiful and close to the brewery. The grounds are clean & very well maintained. We got there earlier than our reserved time and they took care of us by letting us take an earlier tour. You have a choice of 2 different swag bags at different prices, as well as tokens for beers. What is awesome about this tour is that they let you start the tour with a beer & take it with you on the tour. Our guide, Allie, did a great job of telling us about the history of the brewery, the process of making all the beers that Shiner makes, and about what Shiner does for the community, for students, veterans, disaster relief, etc. Another thing unique about this tour was that they had elevators (no climbing stairs like most brewery tours), and it was all air conditioned. That didn't detract from the experience at all. At the end of the tour they gave each of us a case of beer (not the beer of our choice, but still). They a lot of picnic tables under tents to relax and drink your beers. They have an incredible gift shop, where you receive more beer tokens for your souvenir purchases. There is also a BBQ restaurant there that looked delicious. I'll definitely be back.
翻译:我爱啤酒,也爱酿酒厂。啤酒在产地总是味道更佳。我参观过美国和欧洲的主要酿酒厂和精酿啤酒厂。他们都可以向德克萨斯州希纳市的斯波茨尔啤酒厂学习。啤酒厂附近停车位充足,而且很近。场地干净整洁,维护得很好。我们比预约时间提前到达,他们很贴心地安排了提前参观。您可以选择两种不同价格的礼品袋,以及啤酒代币。这次旅行的妙处在于,他们允许你先喝啤酒,然后带着它继续参观。我们的导游 Allie 非常细心地向我们讲述了啤酒厂的历史、Shiner 酿造所有啤酒的流程,以及 Shiner 为社区、学生、退伍军人、救灾等所做的贡献。这次旅行的另一个独特之处是他们有电梯(不像大多数啤酒厂之旅那样需要爬楼梯),而且全程都有空调。但这丝毫没有影响我们的体验。旅行结束时,他们给了我们每人一箱啤酒(虽然不是我们喜欢的,但还是不错的)。帐篷下有很多野餐桌,可以放松身心,喝啤酒。他们还有一家很棒的礼品店,在那里购买纪念品可以兑换更多的啤酒代币。那里还有一家烧烤餐厅,看起来很美味。我一定会再来的。
