Very nice
This museum was set up in 1999 with the support of the commune of Wiltz and the Brotherhood of Gambrinus. The "Syndicat d’initiative", the tourist office of Wiltz, manages the site and the collections. The museum comprises 5 rooms: The historical pub The ingredients of beer A brief history The production of beer The tannery The grand Duchy of Luxembourg can look proudly on a centuries-old brewing tradition. Located in Wiltz, the Simon Brewery is one of the few which remain in Luxembourg family ownership. In addition to that, in the surrounding Upper Sûre Nature Park, spelt is grown from which a tasty strong beer is produced. So there were reasons enough to create Luxembourg’s first and only Brewery Museum in the nostalgic setting of the stables at Wiltz Castle. Exhibits not only throw light on more than 6000 years of beer production history but also document the outstanding developments which have taken place in brewing in the Grand Duchy. Unique items on display give a fascinating

Nationalmuseum der Braukunst / Wiltz
In the ancient castle in Wiltz you will find the National Brewery Museum and also the Tannery Museum, an old tradition in Wiltz, also you will find the office of tourisme with all informations and explications; a beer degustation in the castle is a must and also the visit, you can admire many ancient objects in wood and copper, many curiosities.

Pleasant way to pass an hour (or two)
Wasn’t quite what I was expecting but audio guide was good and informative. Museum split in two halves - brewing and Battle of the Bulge. It was actually the latter that I found most interesting. Friendly lady on reception. Worth paying extra €2 for the beer at the end of your visit.
