Huppendorfer Bier

If you order a “Huppi” in Franconia, every innkeeper will know immediately. The Huppendorfer beer from the Grasser brewery is known and loved far beyond the town limits of Königsfeld. The family business has been supplying beer-thirsty Franconians with their down-to-earth beers for more than 250 years. After all, a Huppi tastes good on every occasion!

From francs for francs

The Grasser family has passed the brewery down from generation to generation since 1750. With the brewery, the Grassers' values and traditions were also inherited. It is very important to the Grassers that the business remains in family hands even after 250 years. And also the associated size of the company: You could sell the brewery to a corporation and make Huppendorfer beer an export hit around the world, but the Grassers don't want that. The Grasser brewery is a family business and should remain that way. But that is by no means the only principle that the Huppendorfers follow. In order to meet increasing quality demands, the facility in Huppendorf was completely modernized. New tanks, a wood chip heater, a photovoltaic system and energy-saving motors ensure that Huppendorfer beer is brewed as sustainably and environmentally friendly as possible while maintaining the good, well-known and proven taste. A special seal of quality that the brewery carries is the title Solar Beer. Solar beers are brewed exclusively using renewable energies and are sustainable thanks to environmental and resource conservation. The certificate is checked by the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan and is a protected label that the people of Huppendorf can be proud of.

Franconia through and through

We already know that Huppendorfer beer is brewed in Franconia. The following facts show that there is a lot of francs in the good beer. The Grassers are proud of their wood chip plant and therefore affectionately call their energy supply “Jura Oil”. Of course, this isn't really oil, but wood chips that are obtained from the Grasser family's own forest and from the forests of local farmers. The sun that supplies the photovoltaic systems with juice is not Franconian per se, but is nevertheless a praiseworthy contribution to environmental protection. And the ingredients that go into the beer are also regional. The water comes from the dry valley between Laibarös and Heroldsmühle, the barley comes from local farmers and the hops come from the Hallertau and Spalt. Beers such as full beer are brewed with the full franc power. It is a classic in the Bamberg area and is the perfect Franconian lager.

But it also tastes good outside of Franconia, I promise!
