On October 4, 1998 we ventured to the Plzen beer museum. Beer is undoubtedly Plzen's most famous product, and is what has put Plzen on the map. The beer museum is on one of Plzen's many picturesque backstreets, and offers a history of beermaking and its own unique place in Czech culture. The museum was once a brewry itself.
