Courage is the basis of all great achievements and was also necessary when founding the Elch-Bräu: In times of large breweries and industrially produced beer, opening a small, private brewery is a risk. However, the danger of failure did not stop the Kugler/Seitz family from doing anything. Their daring continues to pay off today.
Revived brewing tradition since 2007
Brewing has probably been going on for more than 400 years at the location where Gasthof Seitz and Elch-Bräu are located today. It was first mentioned in documents in the late 18th century, but there is evidence that there was a bakery, an inn and a brewery with a malthouse and distillery in Thuisbrunn. The brewery existed until the 20th century, but then the previous streak of success broke and the mash paddle was hung up. In 2002, the Kugler family decided to continue the brewing tradition in their hometown and resume brewing operations in Thuisbrunn. Since then, Georg Kugler and his team have been providing a wide range of handcrafted beer specialties that not only delight visitors to the restaurant: Weizen , Pils and Co. also score highly in international competition and are repeatedly recognized with awards such as the European Beer Star .
The Five-Seidla-Steig®
Beer as a living cultural asset can be experienced on the route between Weißenohe and Thuisbrunn: along the ten-kilometer route there are five breweries that have joined forces for a joint project. The region's high density of breweries is a worldwide specialty and an attraction that the owners of the local breweries wanted to draw attention to. After one or two round tables, the brewers from five breweries decided to create a brewery hiking trail. The idyllic landscape with rolling hills, dense forests and lush meadows between Weißenohe and Thuisbrunn was the perfect basis for this project, the five breweries in between were the cherry on the cake. For more than ten years now, you have been able to hike the Fünf-Seidla-Steig® and refresh yourself in between with brewing specialties from five different breweries. There is a stamp card that is stamped by the innkeepers and landladies and at the end you can use the full card to purchase the Five-Seidla-Steig® jug at a reduced price. Hiking through Franconian Switzerland on a sunny day is a pleasure in itself, but when you're treated to the finest beer, it becomes a real treat!
Whether you drink the fine beers from Elch-Bräu on the hiking trail or at home - they taste good on every occasion!
