My husband and I went on an excursion to the Alivaria Museum for the first time, even though we have lived in Minsk all our lives, and we really liked it! Firstly, it was very easy and convenient to sign up for the tour, on their website, we signed up for 1 day. The tour lasts 1.5 hours, 30 rubles. Headphones are provided, so that the guide can be heard perfectly from anywhere. The tour is rich and interesting. And at the end of the beer tasting, we drank two glasses each, so in the morning I went on a tour, and I was already cheerful 🥳
The disadvantage is that the brewery is located in the city center. And all the smells of malt processing are released into the atmosphere. It's very tangible. The factory is old. There was a reconstruction...but this is not comparable to new technological lines and equipment. It is hidden by buildings, a fence. But he doesn't belong in the city. Here you can open a museum of beer, spirits, kvass, etc. You can come here and drink beer, try it and compare it with other varieties. Nearby there is Victory Square, the Church of Mary Magdalene, a military hospital, a synagogue.
We visited the museum with friends, everyone was satisfied! A great combination of entertainment and education. I learned a lot of interesting things about the production process of my favorite drink - beer, its history and variety of types. And tasting is generally a song! We tried several beers, including non-alcoholic ones. The museum staff was friendly and welcoming. Everything is well organized, we didn't notice any hitches. In general, it was a great experience, I recommend you to visit
