Brauerei Wippra, Historical brewery in Wippra, Germany.
Description
Brauerei Wippra is a beer production facility with buildings displaying regional construction styles: fieldstone masonry at ground level and timber framing above. The site preserves a working transmission system that powers all mixing equipment and the historic grinding mill.
History
Beer production began at this location in 1480, making it one of the region's oldest continuing activities. The original construction reused beams from Wippra's first parish church, showing how materials and buildings were repurposed over time.
Culture
The brewery reflects the craftsmanship traditions that have shaped community identity for centuries and continue to be valued by locals. It remains a place where skills pass from one generation to the next, anchoring the region's sense of continuity.
Practical
The site is open Thursday through Sunday; visitors should check ahead about tour and course availability. Those interested in purchasing traditional beers can do so directly on site, though selection and availability may vary by season.
Did you know?
In 2002 the brewery returned to production after a lengthy pause, and its dark beer immediately won recognition at the World Beer Championship in Colorado. This award showed that traditional brewing methods could still compete at the highest level.
