    This is the best beer tour I have been on! Throughout this tour, you get to try the hops, malt, wort and young beer. At the end of the tour, we tried the beer sampler with the cheese sampler. I would highly recommend it!

    We visited MEGA on our travel around Spain and this was definitely the best experience ever. MEGA is simply mega! They really know how to do things, from beer to marketing. Our guide Oscar was incredible. Funny, nice and he even tought us to pour a perfect glass of Estrella Galicia :) We had a private guided tour in English. In general museum is one of the most sophisticated and exciting, with a lot of interactive stops, you can even ride a moto GP motorcycle :) I recommend it 1906%.

    This was a fantastic experience. Judit was our tour guide, and was able to give an excellent tour in English. The whole tour was great. I really enjoyed the interactive elements, how we could taste the hops, barley, wort, baby beer and then pull our own pints at the end! I chose the cheese pairing tasting and it was really tasty. It was just a super experience, I would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone.

    Honestly felt like a little kid with all the interactive elements. So much history about beer and a coruña and of course Estrella Galicia!!!

    Interactive and fun experience. Whether you love estrella Galicia, like my husband, or don't really like beer at all, like me, you can still enjoy the experience. We were planning on the 15€ self guided experience because I don't drink beer, but realized once there that they were only conducting tours at the moment (or at the time we arrived, not sure) so we had to take the guided tour for 25€. The guided tour was fun, and it was nice to have someone explain each exhibit. Our tour was in Spanish, but most of the exhibits and interactive screens had English. This tour truly uses your 5 senses, from watching and hearing, to touching, smelling and savoring. You get to taste the beer before it's become beer, as a young beer, and as the finished product. After the tour ends (about 1h15min), you go to the tasting room and learn how to serve a "caña" the proper way. You get to drink it and keep the glass as a great souvenir. You also get a flight of other 5 beers to taste and compare. You can choose upgraded tickets with cheeses and embutidos for 35€, but else you get a bag of nice chips to go with the beer. Definitely enough beer to make one a bit tipsy, haha.

    This is an interesting and informative tour. We did a guided tour in English. I would not recommend that as the signage and explanations are also provided in English and provide the opportunity to focus on certain things. The food pairings at the end are highly recommended as the food selections were excellent!

    Fantastic tour - one of the best "museum" experiences I have ever had. Guided tour was very good, learnt a lot and the guide was very nice and answered all my questions! Trying the different stages of a beer was cool, and the tastings at the end were great. €25 for all that was actually fine in the end. Super nice staff, one thing is that it would have been nice to have tasted more of the Estrella Galicia range of beers in the tasting. As another reviewer mentioned, you feel part of the Estrella Galicia family during this tour!

    Outstanding guided tour, good experience and tour guide was excellent. Had the tour with the beer tasting at the end which was really good and a complimentary glass. Also met a Brad Pitt lookalike working in the gift shop while leaving.

  • 5/5 Wojciech L. 7 months ago on Google
    I was very surprised at how great of an experience it was. Super interesting and interactive story of the family and business. Chance to try different beers. I recommend cheese pairing as you may taste some of the best Galician cheeses as well. I would visit again

  • 5/5 Luke L. 7 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing tour of the Estrella Galicia Mega Museo! Very detailed tour with lots of interesting information and plenty of fun activities to do inside(beer tasting for adults only though) you can also have a bite to eat afterwards and a few beers which is included in the price!

  • 5/5 Deb C. 7 months ago on Google
    We booked the Tour with Cheese Pairing. Even though our guide was only speaking Spanish. The entire Museum has English alongside the Spanish so we could read about the displays, exhibits as she guided us thru the Museum and Factory. Beer was very good, and was fun to see how the foam is specifically added at the top of every drink. Cheeses and beer pairing was tasty and we were very glad to experience in A Coruna.

  • 3/5 Antonello C. 7 months ago on Google
    It’s a good experience but our guide, whilst lovely, recited all the content at a pace that was far too fast. Interesting story, good exhibits, but perhaps I would’ve enjoyed having more time to browse and read on my own. Pouring my own caña was fun though! I love Estrella Galicia!

  • 5/5 Ianina O. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience!!! Our tour guide, Ana, was AMAZING, making the whole experience even more fun and interesting. She made the tour in Spanish but since it was easier for us in English she did it in both. The factory is perfect,very interactive and we could compare it to the Coca Cola( in Atlanta) we even make our own beer and then we had the chance to try 5 different brew.We'll come back and we'll recommend it. It's a MUST see if you're a beer lover!!!

  • 5/5 Ivy L. 9 months ago on Google
    Visited MEGA with the tour of €25, with a guide, 1 caña and 5 small beers to try. I regretted to not take the €35 with the cheese.. The MEGA is amazing, everything well planned, explained the history, the development and how beers are made, etc.. Kudo to our guide Judit for explaining everything clearly .. For whoever visiting galicia, this is a must do in your trip..

    Really enjoyed the €25 tasting tour, well worth the money. The guide Jacobo was excellent - the tour was all in Spanish (which we speak, but not fluently) and he was great at ensuring we were ok and checked at the end of each section that we'd understood everything. There are also lots of explanations on the wall / displays in English. The tasting and beer pouring session at the end were good fun. Recommended if you're visiting A Coruña.

  • 5/5 Anastasiia L. 8 months ago on Google
    We took a guided tour with degustation and didn't regret it! From the very beginning it was very interesting, the part with trying ingredients of the beer was amazing! There were a lot of interactive things to have fun. The degustation of different beers paired with food was great, especially with the knowledge that we've got about each beer.

    Really cool beer museum from Estrella Galicia (it reminded me a lot of the Guinness Museum in Dublin). So, there were a lot of details that really stood out. It was a very well organized tour. When you give your name for the reservation you receive a bracelet that identifies you at all times whilst in the museum. As soon as your group goes up the stairs you pass your bracelet at the turnstile and your name appears on the screen with a welcome message. Throughout the tour, the guide explains the beer- making process and you even get to try several different beers at their different stages of processing. The best moment, of course, is the cafeteria where you get a beer (of your choice) and some Bonilla crisps. There's a formula 1 Ferrari car that you can take a picture with and many other photo opportunities throughout the modern building. The gift seemed pricey to me, but I'm sure that others might think otherwise. The famous Galicia ceramic brand Sargadelos has an Estrella Galicia commemorative beer mug at 80 euros, for example. There are some t-shirts and other typical gifts too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Coruña. Parking is easy around the area.

    I would compare it to Guinness and Heineken visiting tours. The visit was good, we went for Spanish tour as there were no other languages available. Some other techno features were not working properly during our visit and also, some parts guide was rushing a lil bit. Pouring and tasting were really good.

    Great brewery tour, with a marvelous guide Renée, mustn't forget Oscar from the brewery itself, lovely people. This was a tour from the cruise ship Arcadia so included a whistle stop tour of La Coruna and the brewery. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Florin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Well organized and informative tour of a wonderful factory, with a tasting of several beers at the end. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Tim P. 1 year ago on Google
    A very interesting experience. We went on the basic self-directed tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We learnt a lot about the production of Estrella Galicia (not to be confused with Estella Damn). A lot of the more expensive tours were fully booked so I would recommend booking online early.

  • 5/5 Matthias K. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fantastic place to be. You learn a lot about the ingredients, the history and the making of beer. The museum itself is very interactive, lots of surprising details and it touches all your senses. And of course you can try some beers from Estrella Galicia /

  • 5/5 Dave 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting museum, did the self guided tour for €15. Took over an hour, plenty to keep the interest and a lovely pint at the end of the tour. Worth noting that English guided tours have to be pre-booked, and the self guided drop-in was between 1&3. We arrived not knowing this just after 12, but fortunately the lady behind reception was very accommodating and managed to get us in. Would definitely recommend.

  • 4/5 Carolina V. 1 year ago on Google
    It's highly recommended. We enjoyed learning how to pour the beer. The tour guide was friendly and helpful enlightening our knowledge. Although, the cafeteria at the old factory wasn't as good as it should be.

  • 5/5 Olya I. 1 year ago on Google
    great experience in A Coruña, we bought the tickets with beer & cheese tasting 👍🏻

  • 4/5 Ramtin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice experience, worth visiting. Well organized and interactive, it takes about 1h30 maximum and you don’t need to book your tickets in advance.

  • 5/5 Elgin K. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been on many brewery tours and this was by far the most fun, interactive and unique tour. Many of the displays are interactive and I would describe it as a Disney World-like brewery experience. If you have the opportunity to go, I would HIGHLY recommend it! My only complaint is the tour wasn't long enough to see everything in the museum!

  • 5/5 Jeff O. 2 years ago on Google
    For anyone visiting A Coruña a trip to the Mundo Estrella Galicia Museum is a must. Very interesting to see the workings of actual functioning brewery rather than your typical visit to an off site museum (Guinness storehouse (and others) please take note!!!). Practising pulling a drink, then getting to drinking it followed by a tasting of 5 beers, matched with high quality food (seafood in my case) along with a couple of nice gifts (an embossed glass you pull your drink into and a handy tote/backpack bag when you leave) make this a very enjoyable and value for money experience. The option to do the tour in English was cool and our guide Oscar was very entertaining, knowledgeable and made the tour all the more enjoyable. I hope they keep the experience as it is and don't go commercial like numerous other similar ventures have done. Go visit MEGA!!!

  • 4/5 Good E. 4 years ago on Google
    Interactive and educational experience. Ends with a beer tasting in a nice bar. Stop by when in A Coruña. Take bus 11 or walk from main train station.

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an amazing, amusing, interesting and truly immersive experience to take a tour of the factory. As a homebrewer I recommend it to every beer-lover. Cheers

  • 5/5 Mollie B. 3 years ago on Google
    What an incredible place! We had a tour here shortly after the state of alarm ended. It is like Disney World for beer! Oscar was our tour guide and he was fantastic!! We have been to many brewery tours but never experienced such an excellent, informative (yet interesting) tour. The facilities are so high-tech, well thought-out, and beautifully designed. They have done a wonderful job adapting to all the new COVID regulations as well. We can't wait to go back and highly recommend it if you are anywhere near A Coruña.

👍👍 One of the best parks in the city. There are many locations within it to rest, have a barbeque, sunbathe or do the exercises. A strong smell of eucalyptus makes the experience absolutely unique and astonishing. I would definitely recommend it.
