What is the Prague Beer Museum?

The Prague Beer Museum, located in Old Town, is a fun attraction for beer lovers wanting to learn all about the legendary Czech brewing history and traditions. Unlike a conventional museum, this interactive experience dives into the rich history, techniques, and culture of Czech beer with hands-on exhibits, tastings, and a unique DIY beer-bottling session. Spread across two floors and medieval cellars, it brings the legacy of Czech beer to life.

Your experience at the Beer Museum in Prague 

Explore the history of Czech beer

Step into a brewing time capsule, where mannequins, videos, and artifacts showcase how Czech beer evolved over the centuries. As you move through the exhibits, you’ll see historic beer-making tools and ingredient displays and learn how Czech brewing traditions shaped the world. The rich scents of hops and malt fill the air, adding to the sensory experience.

See a 13th-century medieval cellar

Venture into the museum’s underground cellars, dating back to the 13th century, and experience a piece of Prague’s brewing heritage. The cool stone walls and soft, dim lighting transport you to a time when beer was stored and aged in wooden barrels beneath the city. The cellars feature a detailed model brewery that depicts how beer was crafted with old-world methods, long before modern techniques emerged.

Taste authentic Czech beer

No beer experience is complete without a tasting, and at Prague Beer Museum, you’ll get to sample three different Czech beers. The first beer is freshly poured by a brewmaster, who explains the characteristics of Czech lagers and the importance of foam in Czech beer culture. The next two tastings take place in a recreated 19th-century beer tavern, where you’ll use a self-pouring machine to serve your own beer, just like a true tapster.

Bottle, cork & label your own beer

For a truly unique souvenir, the museum allows you to bottle your own beer, cork it, and create a custom label to take home. The bottling process is fully hands-on—you’ll fill your bottle, seal it, and then personalize the label with your name, message, or design. Whether you’re a casual visitor or a serious beer enthusiast, this part of the experience adds a personal touch to your beer journey and gives you something memorable to take back home.
