The Greif Bräu goes back to the Kapuzinerwirt at Sattlertorstrasse number 18 in Forchheim. The Josef Greif brewery was founded at this location in 1848. Back then, brewing was still going on under a different name, but the good beer was already flowing freely. In the early 20th century, Josef Greif finally took over the brewery and not only gave it its current name, but also a lot of perspective. The clever businessman buys an ice cellar and lays the foundation for the way into the future. Over the following decades, the brewery grew and prospered under the hands of the Greif/Schuster family and was extensively modernized. Today the business is run jointly by Josef Greif's grandson Christian Schuster senior and his son Christian Schuster junior.
With a lot of passion and many years of experience, Greif-Bräu has created a large product range. In addition to a core range of beers available all year round, such as Hellen , Landbier and Zwickl , there are seasonal offerings such as the popular Christmas beer . The Greif brewery is keen to combine innovation with tradition. It is important to them to preserve traditional values and the millennia-old beer culture of Franconia. The team also wants to look boldly into the future and uses the latest technology to produce beers from regional raw materials. The brewery does not shy away from modern interpretations of beer and, in addition to its repertoire of classic beers, also produces less traditional beer specialties such as the low-calorie Kirschradler Cherry . In addition to the excellent beer, the popular Greif cellar in the city forest is an attraction of the brewery. This is a popular meeting place for young and old, and not just during the St. Anna Festival, which is known throughout Franconia. Freshly brewed Greif beer foams out of the barrel and delights beer lovers with perfect compositions of hops and malt. The Schuster family has received many awards for their traditional Franconian craftsmanship. They only received gold at the World Beer Awards in 2021.
You can taste the care and wealth of experience of the family business with every sip. A real treat!
