Beer & Oktoberfest Museum

Perhaps this museum is often overlooked from the crowds but if you're into beer, well, this place is right up your alley. I'm a beer lover and I really enjoyed visiting this small museum. Situated in one of the oldest houses in Munich, you're transported back in time, literally. I was surprised by how cheap the admission ticket is. You follow a series of intricate rooms, wooden corridors and plenty of signs and information that details the history of beer making. And as the name suggests, there is plenty of information regarding the famous Oktoberfest festival. It wasn't busy at all when we visited and we were able to walk at a slower pace to enjoy the place. At the end of course, you have to stop by at the in-house brewery to sample and taste delicious beer. We couldn't help ourselves, me and my girlfriend. Highly recommend visiting it.

A quite short experience, but at least the tickets are cheap. Though the contents are interesting, and worth to read them!

Good little museum. Up a long flight of stairs (4 floors!) so keep that in mind if accessibility is an issue! Sat in the bar area post doing the museum. Beer was cheap and nice attentive staff. The rest of the building was cosy.

You had me at beer! Lots of interesting beer facts, Oktoberfest facts, and some random goodies too! This museum is rather affordable, but still be prepared for a lengthy walk up and down several flights of stairs. Also, if you’re coming in with a coat, be prepared to be holding it the entire way - the place can get toasty as there is a restaurant on one of the lower floors. Also, there’s beer at the end.

The museum was nice, and the beer was really good. However, the food was horrendous. I ordered a bowl of soup made with a bouillon cube, just a water with a huge amount of salt. The Obazda cheese was bland, especially comparing to cheeses tasted in other restaurants. So, consider other restaurants if you want to have a good meal!

Good experience overall. The guidance during the tasting was great and he made the experience. Thank you! Also the price for a group was really affordable. Lady behind the bar was quite rude towards us with no reason.

A cheap entrance ticket but far more informative than I expected! A lot of collections and also a great story telling! I think the route need to be more clear for the visitors to follow! They have not only 2 floors!!!!

Fun historical building to walk thru. I enjoyed it.. right next door is a cool place to have some beer samples

Museum entry is only €4, and even though it's quite a hike up 3 flights of steep, narrow stairs, how often do you get to visit a 14th century home? Totally worth it. Be sure to do the beer sample to try three types of beer. Sadly, the glasses are not available for sale at this time.

Meh. If you speak German it might be entertaining. But being in English speaker and only limited signs in English, it was not as enjoyable as the four euro would indicate. There didn't seem to be other tours one could take which included a beer but those were not offered and there was no sign The fact that it is one of the oldest homes in Munich is pretty cool, but that information was also not shared on the tour.

my loyal followers should be noticing these two trends by now: 1) I love museums. 2) I love beer. so, here we reach the synthesis of these two! this museum is devoted to two things: the history of brewing beer in Germany, and the legacy of Oktoberfest. it's on a side street, and if you don't keep your eyes open you may miss it. in true German style...there's a bar here. you can combine your admission ticket with a voucher for a beer and pretzel at the museum bar. just a heads up - the bar opens at 6, when the museum closes. we went earlier in the day, but had we known, we might've gone later. admission is cheap. standard cost is 4 Euro per person, but it must have been a slow day, as the guy at the entrance said "you look like college students, you get reduced price"...and let D-Block and I in for 4 Euro total. AWESOME! you'll see exhibits about brewing equipment and methods through the ages, posters of Oktoberfest through the years, paintings, photos, and more. I recall seeing a video exhibit or two at some point. overall, it's kind of static (dioramas, things behind glass) but very informative. and it's all about beer! lots of really cool drinking vessels are on display. it's fairly small - it'll take you maybe an hour or so to see everything - but really cool. so take a break from your standard art and science museums to see one devoted to the greatest liquid on Earth! PROST!

The tour guide for our private tour of six brought us here - said it's the oldest building in Munich - built in 1340. The ground floor is a small restaurant. We had a lot of good food over the week, but this local spot was delicious. I had the schnitzel. We had some traditional German cheese - DFR and kind of orange but quite good. One cool experience - we saw a larger group at another table tapping their own wooden keg of beer. These are very small kegs - smaller than pony kegs but it looked cool. You'd probably need a dozen people or so for that keg. Tourists pass this place on the way to Hofbrau House. This is was a unique place. Well worth it for the food and coziness!

Waste of time... When I entered the facility, immediately I felt I was an unwelcome guest. Nobody showed me where to start. Must of the things are in German but not traduced to English, so it was hard to follow. They have a bar, but I wasn't invited to sit and enjoy what they had to offer -again, felt like an unwelcome guest.
