Brewery Museum Tour

Are you interested in what our ancestors used to drink beer from and how they used to toast to their health? Do you want to see two storey medieval cellars? The Brewery Museum reveals the secrets of beer making, serving and beer drinking from the distant past. We will take you back to medieval times when beer was drunk through a reed, we will show you medieval cellars hidden under a brewing house built in the 15th century, and authentic beer pubs from the beginning of the 20th century.

It is a miracle that this 15th century house where the Brewery Museum is located has been preserved in its original form until today. Thanks to this, visitors can explore the late Gothic malt shop, which forms an important part of the so called threshing yard where grain steeping and germination took place. The kiln stopped the germination process and rollers originally served to store and pre-dry green malt – the so-called rolling.

Come to see the smallest jug in the world (only one centimetre high) or a huge tankard from Siberia. Admirers of technology will certainly love the model of a steam brewery, which is a special European technical feature and is capable of producing thirty litres of beer per batch.

Groups of 10 or more people may select an interactive tour with a guide, where visitors may admire historical beer-making apparatus and tools, but also see how these devices actually worked and even try using them.

Directly from the Brewery Museum you may take a tour of the large historical Plzeň underground, a unique labyrinth of cellars and corridors. More information about this tour available at www.plzenskepodzemi.cz
