Enthusiasts of breweriana—collectibles related to beer and brewing—have several notable museums and exhibitions worldwide to explore historic collections. In the United States, the National Brewery Museum™ in Potosi, Wisconsin, showcases a vast array of artifacts, including kegs, barrels, cans, mugs, and trays, many contributed by the American Breweriana Association. In Europe, the Mohren Biererlebniswelt in Dornbirn, Austria, displays around 10,000 items, from beer coasters to historic brewing equipment, while Germany's Deutsches Brauereimuseum in Munich highlights the historical and technical evolution of brewing, including artifacts dating back to the 4th millennium BC. The Beer and Oktoberfest Museum, also in Munich, offers insights into the history of beer and the famed Oktoberfest. In Belgium, the Schaerbeek Beer Museum in Brussels houses a collection of over 1,000 Belgian beer bottles and glasses alongside brewing tools and advertisements, set in a recreated early 1900s tavern. These institutions celebrate brewing heritage and are must-visit destinations for breweriana enthusiasts.
