Under the great motto “We love beer”, the team at the Binkert brewery brews the ever-popular Mainseidla. A beer that couldn't be more regional. On the occasion of the 1200th anniversary of the tranquil community of Breitengüßbach near Bamberg, the Binkert brewery was founded in 2010.
Starting a new brewery in Franconia is a risky undertaking, as the Franconians rightly pride themselves on being the region with the greatest concentration of breweries in the world. The Binkert brewery didn't let this sea of competition stop them from their project and went to work freshly and freely to add a few jewels to Franconia's beer wealth with courage, innovation and sustainability.
The Binkert brewery's range initially appeared quite classic. But classic doesn't mean boring, Binkert's beers are contemporary interpretations and score points with a variety of flavors and high-quality ingredients. The actual plan to brew craft beers initially faced a lot of headwind from the local bigwigs in Breitengüßbach. It was clear that the population was not yet up to the fancy beers of the craft beer movement. Jörg Binkert, founder of the brewery and head brewer, reacted diplomatically and started slowly. He took the region by storm and after a short time was so popular that customers trusted him. So much so that at some point he was able to serve them craft beer almost unnoticed and was rewarded with enthusiasm. There are now Mainseidla Amber , Porter , IPA , Brown Ale and Pale Ale .
As a professional, the term gypsy or cuckoo brewer was no stranger to Jörg Binkert. Nevertheless, he was surprised when the first request came one day. He welcomed the homeless brewer Jeff Maisel with open arms. Since then, in addition to its own brewery, the Binkert brewery has repeatedly housed Gypsy Brewers, brewers who do not have their own brewery and are dependent on the brewing equipment of established breweries. A breath of fresh air always blows through the young brewery and the exchange between innovative brewers is promoted in a fabulous way. In addition, the higher capacity utilization made it possible to hire an additional brewer. So win win.
This extremely young brewery, which is nevertheless state-of-the-art, does not need to hide.
