Abstract

Abstract

While the craft brewing industry and subsequently beer tourism are ever-expanding, we only have a few ideas about what beer tourism is and what drives it. The purpose of this study is to take proposed concepts from other beer tourism studies and to expand their ideas into a working design for a museum. The exhibits displayed in this museum will include many components that beer tourists want when they explore the world of beer, such as beer history, making beer, beer styles, and of course tasting beer. These concepts will be presented through text, images, hands-on interactives, and objects, making this potential museum a multisensory experience.
