The Experience During the guided visit, an expert leads groups through interactive exhibits where visitors can touch and smell ingredients such as hops and malt. After touring the brewing stages—boiling, fermentation, maturation, and conditioning—the group moves into the active production area. The visit concludes with a hands-on beer-pouring demonstration and a tasting of five Estrella Galicia beer varieties, some paired with local Galician dishes, as the fresh aroma of beer fills the air.
