Non-Commercial Policy

1. Purpose of the Site

This website exists solely to share the cultural, historical and educational story of beer in Europe and to point readers towards public museums where this heritage is preserved.

It is operated as a personal, non-commercial project. All content is provided for general information and cultural reference.

2. What This Site Does Not Do

• It does not sell beer, food, merchandise, tickets, tours or any other goods or services.
• It does not accept payments, donations, subscriptions or memberships.
• It does not place advertising, sponsored content or affiliate links of any kind.
• It does not represent, endorse or act on behalf of any brewery, museum or commercial entity.
• It does not facilitate reservations or ticketing of any kind.

3. Editorial Approach

All written content is researched from publicly available sources and the museums' own published heritage materials. Names of breweries and museums are mentioned only as part of the historical record. Addresses and phone numbers are listed so that readers may contact the respective institution directly.

We do not receive editorial input, compensation or material support from any of the breweries, museums or organisations mentioned on this site.

4. Responsible Consumption

This portal discusses the cultural history of an alcoholic beverage. Content is intended for an adult audience (18+ or the legal drinking age of the reader's country, whichever is higher) and supports moderate, informed and responsible attitudes towards alcohol.

This site is not directed at minors. It does not promote drinking, immoderate consumption, drinking and driving, or alcohol use during pregnancy. If you are concerned about your drinking, please consult a qualified health professional or a national alcohol-information service.

5. Copyright & Attribution

Historical references and dates rely on public-domain sources and on heritage materials published by the museums themselves. Illustrations on this site are original stylised graphics created for illustrative purposes.

Trademarks and brewery names remain the property of their respective owners and appear here for descriptive purposes only. Their use does not imply endorsement.

6. Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to keep dates, addresses and phone numbers accurate. However, opening hours and visitor policies of the listed museums can change. Always consult the institution's own official information before planning a visit.

If you spot an error, please write to us — see contact below — and we will correct it.

7. Privacy

This site does not collect personal information, does not use tracking cookies and does not run analytics that identify individual visitors. Standard non-identifying server logs may be kept for security and stability purposes only.

8. Contact

For corrections, content questions or removal requests, please reach out to the editorial team at editor [at] europeanbeerculture.site. We do not receive commercial inquiries.
