Welcome to The Beer Label Museum!

The Beer Label Museum houses a large collection of beer labels from around the world. In addition to the labels, you'll discover an abundance of beer esoterica that ranges from descriptions of and stories about the various beers to historical information on beer and brewing in general. This tour guide is designed to orient you with the structure of the Beer Label Museum and to make your exploration more enjoyable.

 

The Beer Label Museum is organized in a hierarchical structure as shown below.

At the Brewery level, you'll find the name and location of the brewery. Some of the Brewery pages contain a link to a story about the brewery. The stories come from the six-pack carton, official brewery brochures, or other official sources.* ±
