Tired of looking at another Renoir, Rodin, or Monet...well how about a museum of a different sort? The Beer Museum Yebisu is indeed a full fledged museum that is not only open to the public for free but has a Tasting Lounge at the end of the tour. Mind you there are no free samples at the end , but for beer lovers this is certainly a spot worth stopping by for a visit.
The museum covers everything from the brewing processing , ancient brewing equipment, historical photos, labels, a theater with a 3d film, etc.
One of the items that was indeed of interest was a display from WWII to encourage the return of empty bottles that surely will have any bottle deposit program currently in place in the USA beat. The display message read as follows:
Beer For Use of Allied Forces Only and Free of Tax
Please return all empty bottles. The loss of bottles means that much less beer for you.
Dai Nippon Brewery Co., Ltd.
I've no doubt this was a strong motivator to get the troops to return those empty bottles back in the day.
As mentioned, at the end of the museum is a Tasting Louge, where you can get a 4 beer sample course of draft beer and enjoy the labels product. The 4 items on offer are Edel Pils, Yebisu Beer, Major Ale, Yebisu Premium Black Beer. (Photo below of tasting course offered)
The museum is open daily Tuesday - Sunday from 10AM - 6PM and you can contact the museum directly for additional questions at Tel: 03-5423-7255.
All the best...Mark
