Kitzmann-Bräu

Kitzmann-Bräu is a brewery in Erlangen housed in a red-brick building that operates with traditional copper kettles and stone fermentation tanks. The facility demonstrates how a craft brewery works with classical equipment while producing regional beers.

The brewery was founded in 1712 and is now protected as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria. Its history connects more than 300 years of brewing tradition in this region with the building structures that remain preserved today.

The brewery is where Franconian brewing tradition remains alive in daily practice, and visitors can observe how regional beer culture is embedded in local life. The restaurant shows how locals enjoy traditional beers and dishes together as part of their routine.

The brewery offers tours through production where visitors can follow the brewing process. The restaurant serves regional food and drinks and is open for extended hours on most days.

The brewery produces a naturally cloudy cellar beer that represents a special variant of Franconian beer culture. This beer is made without modern clarification methods and keeps its traditional character.
