Museu da Cerveja

Museu da Cerveja is a museum in Blumenau housed in a restored building that displays the history of brewing in this region. The collection features brewing kettles, vintage bottles, historical labels, and machinery from the former Feldmann Brewery alongside equipment from other regional manufacturers.

The museum was founded in 1996 in a restored building that once housed the Feldmann Brewery, which installed machinery there during the 1890s. This brewery became one of the region's major industrial operations and shaped local beer production for decades.

Beer production shaped social gatherings and daily life in this region for generations, and the collection shows how brewing became woven into local identity. The displays reveal how European immigrants brought their craft traditions and adapted them to Santa Catarina's climate and resources.

The museum is located in downtown Blumenau near the Itajai River and offers free admission with daily opening hours. Plan your visit for a weekday morning when the space is less crowded, allowing time to read the informational panels and examine the equipment closely.

The collection preserves original machinery from the 1890s, including hop scales and malt grinders that show how labor-intensive brewing operations were at that time. A standout piece is one of the first cooling systems that relied on ice blocks before modern refrigeration became available.
