There’s definitely something brewing...

Beer Capital

Can you hear it bubbling and fizzing? Fermenting and brewing happens everywhere in Bern, including in basements, garages and even in laundry rooms. 200 breweries and microbreweries – more than anywhere else in Switzerland – are registered here. It’s no wonder that locally brewed craft beer and Bern go together just like hops and malt do!

Museumsbier (Beer at the museum)

From 18 January to 7 March 2024, seven museums in the city and region of Bern will be extending their opening hours on Thursdays and inviting visitors to enjoy an after-work beer in their exhibitions from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. "Museumsbier" (beer at the museum) is not only the name of the series of events, but also the beer brewed especially for this occasion by the Bernese "BrauKunst" (art of brewery) boys Alex Chevalley and Gian-Andrea Brunner. This is a great event, and we recommend leaving your Thursdays open – the participating institutions will surprise you with entertaining short tours and creative workshops.
