Located at the gateway to picturesque Franconian Switzerland, you expect one thing above all from the traditional brewery: brewing tradition. The fact that a long-established brewery is breaking away from the stuffiness of old times and is a top player in the modern craft beer scene may come as a surprise to some beer drinkers. The Rittmayer brewery is one of the oldest breweries in the Forchheim district and offers classics as well as seasonal specialties and craft beer specialties. It manages to combine tradition and modernity like no other brewery.

Tradition with vision

Brewing tradition that has lasted for centuries and is still constantly in motion - that is the credo of the Rittmayer brewery in Hallerndorf, Upper Franconia. The family business looks back on an eventful brewing history dating back to 1422. But instead of resting on the laurels of bygone days and clinging to outdated traditions, people in Hallerndorf are always up to date. In addition to traditional classics, there are modern brewing products. The bitter line, for example: With beers like the Rittmayer Bitter 42 or the Rittmayer Bitter 58, it is one of the most popular products from the small brewery. “In vino veritas” was yesterday, today people philosophize over a malty-sweet, light bock. Or while drinking the award-winning Smoky George , which represents the strong side of the Upper Franconian craft beer movement. It was developed together with the Nuremberg Whiskey Club and is characterized by a gentle, not at all ham-heavy smoke aroma. If you just like traditional beer styles, the Rittmayer brewery offers 13 different types, ranging from country beer to Weizenbock . Well, get it!

Craftsmanship in a new guise

The Rittmayer brewery has treated itself to a small change of scenery with its newly designed labels: old and new classics shine in a new look and thus also appeal to younger customers. Of course, that doesn't change the principles that the traditional brewery has adhered to for over 500 years. The Bavarian Purity Law is an irrefutable authority for the brewers at the Rittmayer brewery and a seal of quality that they are happy to adhere to. Brewer Georg Rittmayer comes from a long line of brewers and has high quality standards for his products. Despite all the love for craftsmanship and tradition, a certain modernity is still essential. For the Rittmayers, this appears in the form of a sophisticated energy concept that enables the brewery to do without fossil fuels. Beer for environmental protection, that's how we like it!
