Master brewer & beer sommelier

If, like me, you consider brewing to be part of our cultural heritage, and you would like to learn more about our local brewing culture, please don’t hesitate to come and have a chat! As master brewer and beer sommelier I invest a great deal of time and energy into my passion for our liquid gold. The beer that flows from my brewery doesn’t just taste good, it is also organic. But fine things come in small packages – I don’t believe in mass production when it comes to brewing.

If there is one memento that will sum up your visit to Franconia, it will be this: sitting back with a good beer after a busy day. And that’s exactly what our guests enjoy, whether they are Weigelshofen regulars, taking part in a training course or here on holiday. At the end of the day, we all enjoy the opportunity to relax.

Certified beer enjoyment.

Organic farming is a very particular form of agriculture. Our aim is to operate an eco-friendly, natural business that eschews all genetically modified ingredients and chemical or synthetic fertilisers and that takes a sustainable approach to cultivation. We use hops and malt from organic producers (Bioland) and German farms (certified to DE-ÖKO-006) for our organic country-style beer, Schwarzer Keller organic beer and organic weissbier.

Beer workshops

Several times a year we hold a special “kulinarium” workshop, sharing our expertise about a specific aspect of the craft of brewing with our visitors. I am happy to pass on my knowledge of my craft, taking you on a voyage of discovery through the culture of Franconian brewing.

Streuobstwiese – our meadow orchard

In autumn 2018 we joined forces with the local village committee and the Weigelshofen fruit and growers’ association to launch the “Fränkische Streuobstwiese” project. Together, we have planted a variety of fruit trees and meadow grasses, including a wild-flower meadow for bees, on a plot of approximately 1500 m² n the edge of the village. As soon as the trees start bearing fruit, villagers will be able to pick the produce for themselves.
