Visitors can view authentic stages of the brewing process including the brewhouse, malthouse, fermentation and storage cellars, ice cellar, cooperage, filtration, barrel filling, and bottling. Founded in 1979 by master brewers passionate about preserving brewing tradition, the museum offers a comprehensive look at Franconian beer culture.
