Brauhaus zur Post, German restaurant in Frankenthal, Germany
Brauhaus zur Post is a restaurant with its own brewery in Frankenthal that produces unfiltered, naturally cloudy beers following the German Beer Purity Law from 1516. The establishment offers traditional beers like pale, dark, and wheat varieties alongside seasonal specialties.
The sandstone building was erected in 1902 and served as the city's post office until 2000, equipped with a telegraph tower that distributed telephone lines across Frankenthal. After the post office closed, this historic structure was converted into a restaurant with a brewery.
The restaurant keeps alive old brewing traditions by making different beer styles like pale, dark, and wheat beers following German purity standards. These handcrafted beers are produced directly here and connect deeply with local identity.
The restaurant is open to visitors on several days each week, with Saturday being a good choice and Sunday interesting for brunch lovers. The venue has limited accessibility for people with mobility issues, so checking ahead is advisable.
The interior features cast-iron pillars and copper-colored brew kettles visible throughout, giving the space an industrial feel that recalls its former use as a post office. The Mälzerpfanne with pork medallions is a local specialty that visitors often discover here.
