I had come across the Beer Museum via a local blog I follow and I initially thought it was going to be one of those lame things that Austin tries to make sound cool and innovative, but turns out to be an overhyped hipster disappointment. I was so glad I was so wrong!
First off, the idea of the Beer Museum is just fantastic! A friend who is adverse to anything museum related actually enjoyed the lil displays and info-snippets when we got to experience the Beer Museum at WhichCraft. So, if you are a beer nerd, then this is the kinda thing that will capture your interest.
Second, there is not a brick n mortar location as of yet (however, you can help make that a reality by donating on the website), so as of now, this place is completely mobile. You can see where their next location will be on their website as well.
Third, Matt & Virginia, the founders and curators of this beertastic brainchild are two of the nicest people you will meet and it was great talking beer with them. Some of the beer memorabilia they had on display was just awesome!
Fourth, you can purchase Beer Museum gear and spread the gospel. Since purchasing and sporting my Beer Museum shirt, I have gotten stopped and asked about it more times than someone wearing a tshirt probably should.
So yeah, check them out and support a beer cause! read more
