Brauerei Zehendner

🌍 Germany · Regional · Known for a full range of styles
Known for a full range of styles

Brauerei Zehendner has brewed in Mönchsambach, a village of fewer than a hundred residents west of Bamberg, since 1808, and the Zehendner family has owned it since 1938. Brewer Stefan runs the brewhouse and the adjoining inn with its beer garden and home-baked bread. Output sits around 6,000 hectolitres a year. The range stays narrow: Lagerbier, Export and Hefeweizen all year, with Maibock, Festbier, Weizenbock and a Christmas bock in season. The lagers rely on very hard local water, Pilsner malt, a single decoction and one hop variety, Perle.
