Description
Located in Burton on Trent, Britain's brewing capital, Coors Visitor Centre & The Museum of Brewing brings together a unique collection of artefacts and memorabilia tracing the fascinating history of the brewing industry. Visit the Shire Horse Stables, explore the Museum Micro Brewery, vintage vehicle collection and working stationary steam engine plus lots more. There's plenty for children to enjoy too, including Virtual Burton, our interactive touch-screen exhibit which introduces a cast of virtual characters from the town census year of 1881.

End the day by sampling a range of specialist beers and homecooked food in the Visitor Centre's bar and restaurant which are open daily, together with the beer gift shop.
