The Beer Museum is not a classic museum in the traditional sense.
The history of Czech beer and the art of brewing is told and exhibited here, but the focus is on tasting these products……
Na zdraví! - Cheers!

History
It is possible that beer was already brewed in the Czech Republic during the Migration Period, the first mention of beer dates back to 993, when the Benedictine monastery of Břevnov was built and the monks started brewing beer there.
In cellars from the 13th century, the Beer Museum shows how malt is produced and how hops are processed on a model of a brewery. The smell of hops and malt alone is intoxicating.
Along with other things, the more than 1000-year-old art of brewing in the country and aspects of beer production are conveyed.
As a typical souvenir from Prague, you can take home a bottle of beer that you bottled yourself.
The guest room is located in a vaulted cellar and gives an atmosphere like 200 years ago.
