Annual tankards as a timeline
Put a few annual tankards in order and compare their shape, inscription and decoration. This shows how a yearly collector’s item can reflect both tradition and changing design.
Advertising in the café
Glasses, signs and bar items show how a beer brand was present where its beer was drunk. Ask which pieces actually come from cafés and which were made for collectors.
Guided tour with tasting
A tasting may be part of the package, but it is not a source of evidence for the history. Use the explanations and object information to check origin, age and function.
Before you go
The café’s opening hours do not automatically apply to the museum. Book a guided tour in advance and discuss the package, group size and stair access; the museum is on an upper floor.
