In Germany there are certainly countless elevations that bear the name Kreuzberg. Any hill that has a cross can theoretically be called that, but in the following we want to talk about the Kreuzberg, which is located at the gates of Franconian Switzerland and towers over the small town of Hallerndorf. This mountain is the namesake of the brewery on Kreuzberg and the part of Hallerndorf with the same name.
A brewery with history
The Upper Franconian brewery was founded more than 550 years ago by the Friedel family and was originally located in the Schnaid district. The Friedel family is still at the helm of the brewery today, although they no longer brew in Schnaid. In 2007 the family moved with all their belongings into the newly built halls on Kreuzberg. The old brewery was leased to Andreas Gänstaller , who brewed his beer there from 2011. After the brewing legend went into his well-deserved retirement in 2022, the Hertl brewery took over the traditional brewery. Andreas beers have since been brewed by a neighboring brewery. Not far away is the new brewery on Kreuzberg with a brewing system, beer cellar and visitor center. You can also hold meetings and celebrate in the spacious rooms. Together with her four children and her husband, Luitgard Friedel-Winkelmann, ancestor of the Friedel family, manages the brewery and management. The couple have been at the helm since 1991 and have also been brewing together, as both Norbert and Luitgard have learned the craft of brewing. It is brewed according to tried and tested family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. The range consists of a number of down-to-earth classics that are produced in the Franconian brewing style. The raw materials come from regional farmers wherever possible and are processed into the finest beer in a gentle process.
Hospitality in all dimensions
The family demonstrates their hospitality every day. The brewery's own beer cellar is a contact point for guests from near and far in summer, and visitors are also welcomed to the brewery itself all year round. Attracted by the culinary delicacies from the kitchen and the freshly brewed beer, countless people flock to the Kreuzberg year after year and enjoy the Franconian specialties in solid and liquid form. In addition to the beer tasting, the brewery offers a special highlight: interested visitors have been able to experience the brewery in five dimensions since 2015. Thanks to the latest cinema technology, the brewing process can be followed live with sounds, smells and movement while sitting comfortably in an armchair. If you would like to see the processes behind the beer and the work of the brewers, you can book a tour of the brewery instead.
