You can use block explorer to check the details pertaining to a block, including the rewarded miner address.

You can use:

https://blockchair.com
https://mempool.space
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer

Input the block to search for it on any of the sites mentioned above.

Are you talking about coinbase addresses?

Mempool.space should give you enough insight about blocks including what addresses where the new BTC is generated or wins a block.

Yes. But that is the work of blockchain explorers. There is also another one that I do use but not included up there which is https://blockstream.info. If the block is searched for on the blockchain explorer, he will also see what he is looking for there.

Just look for any  block
The first transaction is the coinbase transaction, I.e., the block reward.

For example

https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000032132d8c543b466fcab067d95ddff612d5f586cf409b2

Transaction

https://mempool.space/tx/63fc50ea81f4173a699b55060e50f595694a5fc6fb51026f8c1d2314cee270d5

You can see the transaction has no inputs. Those coins were created with the block

 https://bitcoindata.science/api/transaction.php?id=63fc50ea81f4173a699b55060e50f595694a5fc6fb51026f8c1d2314cee270d5 (https://bitcoindata.science/bitcointalk-api.html#transaction)

Check there https://btc.com/stats/pool (https://btc.com/stats/pool). It is for Pool distribution.

You will have a table of Bitcoin mining pools. Click on a pool, like Foundry USA (https://btc.com/stats/pool/Foundry%20USA) you will see a list of Bitcoin blocks found by that pool and block hash including the Coinbase transaction.

Like this block hash: https://explorer.btc.com/btc/block/0000000000000000000234bb67003ad648f9bb953c9b6d45dd9429bb8651f5d3
