Occupying an 1898 tower in Tartu's famous brewery, 10 minutes' walk northwest of the centre, mandatory tours of this museum trace the history of beer since ancient Egypt, before focusing on modern machinery and processes, then dispensing free samples. There's also a gift shop with different brews and plenty of merchandise on sale (10am to 5pm Tuesday to Friday, to 4.30pm Saturday).
