Brauerei Museum
The Brauerei was once part of the monastery, and has brewed beer since the Middle Ages. The unusually soft water gives the beer a flavor that is widely acclaimed. There are guided tours of the brewery museum daily at noon and 2:30 (in German only, though English headsets are available), which include glasses of beer, as well as tours and tastings on selected Fridays and Saturdays; see the website for details. If there is one place in Germany to go out of your way for a beer, Alpirsbach is it.
