Many European nations, having rich brewing culture traditionally celebrate the significant contribution of this marvelous activity in their development with creation of museums. In Czech Republic there are even two of them. Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Poland have also such museums. Even the small Slovenia has one in Ljubljana, the famous Guinness brewery in Dublin attracts millions of tourists yearly. However, but in June the list of countries will lack Great Britain - the country, where beer has traditionally been the favorite drink of the inhabitants. This will happen after the closing of the brewery in Trent A Barton - the pilgrim place for the British beer fans - by the American Molson Coors Brewing Company.

The museum was founded 20 years ago and originally has been owned by the brewing concern Bass, that sold it to Molson Coors in 2000. The American company, whose main mission was the sales of the famous Carling Lager Beer on the British market, has considered the insufficient powerful object inexpedient and decided to close it, what has aroused a storm of indignation among the locals. The social representatives have already exposed their support to the brewery in Barton A Trent, claiming that under the circumstances of stable decrease of the demand for most of the famous beer brands like Carling and Stella Artois, the closing of the brewery, producing true British ale (that is being resurrected now), being simultaneously an architectural and cultural heritage is a real crime. The beer production in Barton A Trent began in the beginning of the XI-th century by the duke Mercii. At that time - the first famous ale made of light malt has been produced for the first time, that became the most popular alcoholic drink in the world.
