We came across Steins Unlimited on Atlas Obscura and dropped in for a visit where we were graciously greeted by George who walked us through his collection of steins highlighting their history, craftsmanship, and his passion. It was fascinating and George a wonderful host. It was one of the highlights of our vacation.
What a fun visit! The owner was very gracious and spent 1.5 hours with us giving us the history of steins and describing his collection. I tried to call first but the number didn’t work, so we took a chance and stopped in. We have a Class A RV so we parked in a lot next to the Dollar General and drove our car over to his house. The museum is in a large shed across from his house. We went to the house and knocked on the door and he came out. We are novices on this subject but he made it very interesting. This is worth the stop! He worked for Anheuser Busch and is very knowledgeable about steins and their history in Germany.

He is very accommodating and enjoys telling you all about the Steins he has in his possession. The museum is free of charge but feel free to leave a little beer money or a donation to help with the upkeep of the museum if you wish.
