Guided Story
Do you catch that sweet, smoky aroma wafting through the air? That's the signature scent here. For nearly 500 years, this brewery has been crafting its renowned smoked beer, using techniques that have changed little over time. Look up at the old beams above you; they've witnessed countless stories over the centuries. Just behind you, a few steps away, is the Fässla Brewery, another testament to Bamberg's rich beer culture. There's a tale that the brewmasters here used to burn wood in the malt kilns during the cold winters to generate heat, giving the beer its unique smoky flavor. This tradition is still alive today. Tasting this beer is like stepping back in time.
