Now it’s time for beer lovers to raise a glass in celebration for Celebrating BEER! - The National Brewery Centre is to open in late spring at Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. The centre will include a national brewing museum and a visitor centre that explains the UK’s influence on the world’s brewing techniques. The exhibits will be interactive, with actors, animatronics, holograms and multimedia technology. The actors will be in character to help make the experience as authentic as possible. There will be a vintage vehicle collection including a working steam engine. There will also be master-classes for over-18s on the different tastes of beer based on ingredients and brewing processes, and how to match different foods with beers. And there will be a traditional pub on the site.
Britain remains a major brewing country and the importance of beer — its past, present and future — will be promoted by the museum. All beer lovers should raise a glass in celebration. Website: www.nationalbrewerycentre.co.uk
