Beer lovers, we know your ideal next vacation has to pack some serious hops (see what we did there?). Instead of just heading to Oktoberfest and calling it a day, consider these other five beer-tastic destinations. You’ll experience more beer than you know what to do with.

1. Portland, Oregon, United States

Any true beer lover knows that Portland is where it’s at. With over 50 craft breweries and the 2014 title-holder for best beer city in the world, Portland will satisfy every palate. Bar hop with your friends or attend the famous Portland Craft Beer Festival for the full experience.

2. Brussels, Belgium

If you love Lambic beers, head to Belgium. The home of Lambics and other Belgian beers, Brussels offers the best in old-style breweries. You can catch a flight (of beer, of course) at nearly any café you encounter, but if you want to take your love of beer a step further, visit the Museum of Belgian Brewers.

3. Dublin, Ireland

Two words: Guinness Storehouse. The famous Guinness factory is a must-see for anyone who has a deep appreciation for the heavier stuff. Once you’re done, head to a nearby bar and cheers with the locals.

4. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Love Amstel, Heineken or Grolsh? Amsterdam is the beer destination for you. Another prime location for flights, Amsterdam provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy a variety of lagers and light beers.

5. Tokyo, Japan

Whatever you do, don’t underestimate a good Sapporo. Tour the famous brewery headquarters in Tokyo, and then gawk at the beer vending machines sprinkled around town. Yep, you can literally get your beer fix from a vending machine. (Hey, if you’re on the go, it can come in handy.)
