When Christian and Clayton met years ago in Freiburg, they didn't know what their future nicknames would be. Nor did they know that they would one day build a brewery together. But beer worked its magic and today the two call each other Frank and Amy and stand together behind steaming kettles.
Frank's favorite beers are down-to-earth, honest and tasty cellar and country beers. His first encounter with these original Franconian examples of the art of brewing took place in the last millennium. On a beer tour through the Upper Franconian world of enjoyment, Frank got to know an overwhelming variety of excellently crafted beers that turned his head with their malty intensity. On the other side of the world and around the same time, Amy in Oklahoma drank anything but beer. In his youth, the American-born man was subject to the strict alcohol ban for everyone under 21 and only came into contact with the miracle of beer much later during his semester abroad. After this eye-opening experience, a whole new world opened up for the now beer-loving American: A brewpub caught his eye and he discovered previously unknown types of beer. His passion was awakened and prompted him to try his hand at brewing himself. This hoppy hobby accompanied him all the way to Freiburg, where he met his fate. This did not appear to him in the form of a goddess with a toga and golden laurel wreath, but in the form of Christian, alias Frank. The two passionate beer lovers discovered this great thing they had in common after a short time and decided to run Amy's home brewery as a duo. In no time at all, the unlikely pair gained a large following: friends, acquaintances and friends of friends were enthusiastic about the beer they made and so they decided to get down to business. The brewing craftsmen were born!
Beer holds a great fascination for Frank and Amy. How you can make such a delicious brew from just a few ingredients is pure magic. In the course of their own brewing careers, Amy and Frank have learned how to do magic themselves: with specialist knowledge and skilled hands, the two process the simple ingredients and turn them into something great. In addition to hops, malt and yeast, a lot of passion and heart and soul goes into the brewers' beers. Their water comes from the Black Forest and is characterized by its special quality and wonderfully soft mouthfeel. The brewers do without artificial ingredients and preservatives, but go to work with a lot of love, a love of experimentation, Franconian calm and American good humor. The result is real Freiburg delicacies such as Fred or Daisy .
The Brauhandwerker are a small, fine brewery with down-to-earth beers of excellent quality and lots of charm!
