The Schützengarten Brewery's Beer Bottle Museum displays Christian Bischof's impressive collection of over 3000 beer bottles from 260 different Swiss breweries.

The public is presented with younger examples from newly founded, small specialty breweries through to clay bottles that are over 140 years old.

With 140 localities represented, it is impressive to see that Switzerland, and eastern Switzerland in particular, was and still is a stronghold of beer brewing. At the end of the 19th century, there were 600 breweries in Switzerland. The city of St. Gallen alone is represented in the Beer Bottle Museum with examples from seven breweries: Schönenwegen, Bavaria, Uhler, Hock, Hirschen, Stocken and, of course, Schützengarten.

A must for all beer lovers. Come along and discover a piece of Switzerland's brewing history. Admission is free and wheelchair accessible.
