‘World of beer’ attraction just a few hours from the UK has Dr Seuss-like tower, tours and free booze
Date: 2024-10-21A MASSIVE beer attraction is just a few hours from the UK – and you get some free booze along the way.
Kuchlbauer’s World of Beer is an attraction in Germany.
It is made up of two main buildings – Kuchlbauer Tower KunstHaus Abensberg.
The Kuchlbauer Tower opened in 2010, with the 35ft tower dedicated to Bavarian beer.
It functions as a brewery, with a free half litre beer along the way as well as a free pretzel.
And KunstHaus Abensberg was added in 2014.
Designed by architecture Peter Pelikan, it is an attraction based on the works of artist Hundertwasser.
Previous tourists have compared the art attraction to both Barcelona‘s Gaudi as well as Dr Seuss.
Tourists have to book tours ahead of time as they do not run every day.
The tour of the brewery take around 90 minutes, going through the entire attraction.
Despite it being a brewery, you can still takes kids on the tour although they must be over 16 to try the beer.
And while you can book tours of KunstHaus Abensberg, you can visit it at your own pace although recommends allowing 60 minutes to explore.
Combined tickets of the two range from £8.30 for kids and to £16.60 for adults.
It also has a huge beer garden with a restaurant on-site at the foot of the tower.
Time it right and you can visit one of their two events – their Easter Market and Christmas Market.
Previous tourists have raved about it.
One said: “One of the most interesting and fun brewery tours you can go on.”
Another said: “Somewhat bizarre at times, but lots of fun.”
A third called it “a hidden gem in the countryside of Bavaria”.
The best way to get to the attraction is to fly to Munich Airport from the UK.
Flights are as little as £17.99 when flying with easyJet from Edinburgh or Manchester, and take just a few hours.
Kuchlbauer’s World of Beer is then just over an hour from Munich.
