Brewery museum
Monschau's historical brewhouse spans 150 years of brewing history
On a tour of the brewing room, fermentation cellars and storage caves, the master brewer himself will initiate you to the secrets of brewing and the diverse beer types. A visit to the historical Felsenkeller ("Rock Cellar"), dynamited into a slate mountain in 1830, is a particularly memorable experience.
A craft brewery, complete with a splendid collection of old brewing equipment, invites the visitor to pause and rest. Interesting guided tours are available for groups of school-age children and adolescents (sale of non-alcoholic beverages only).
