In 2004 the factory opened a small museum «Tomsk Beer». Here one can find the history of the enterprise in a few windows. Here are collected labels and dishes, authentic documents and old photos telling about the people who worked at the plant. Near the brewhouse there is an exposition, the objects of which did not find room inside. The factory itself can be visited with an excursion; one can go through the shops and see the entire process of producing a popular beverage.
