Schanzenbräu

Breweries and their cozy restaurants are a magnet for gourmet visitors and attract the vibrant life. By choosing their location, many brewers have given entire parts of the city a renaissance and brought a breath of fresh air into abandoned buildings and districts. Such a small miracle also took place in Nuremberg: With his Schanzenbräu, Stefan Stretz helped the Gostenhof district change its image and transformed it into a lively meeting place for young and old. How did he do that? Of course with the finest beer!

patience is a virtue

However, the history of the Schanzenbräu begins some time before its move to Gostenhof. The first brewing attempts are started in the Bärenschanze district. It was then that the brewer demonstrated his true skills, as his initial brews were not brewed using a proper brewing system. Instead, the resourceful beer lover put together his equipment from former washing kettles and sawn-open beer barrels and brewed with what he could find. That was 2004. Three years and a few beers later, Stefan moved to Gostenhof with all his luggage. A stone's throw from today's bar, the brewer found premises that offered a little more luxury and professional equipment. It would be another eight years before Stefan was able to give the go-ahead for his own brewery. Construction began in neighboring Nürnberg-Höfen in 2015. A year later the brewery was finished and the fun could begin. Stefan's patience was rewarded with success.

A moving man

The fine creations are served in the Schanzenbräu pub. The quaint pub has breathed new life into the somewhat disreputable Gostenhof district. Stefan deliberately chose this location and pursued the plan to polish it up right from the start. His courageous step to open a pub in Gostenhof encouraged others to do the same: Today the district is a lively meeting place and offers its visitors a potpourri of different shops and offers. Sometimes all you need is one person with vision, Stefan has proven that. And he also brews delicious beer. The visionary's range is a fine, small selection of Nuremberg classics. All beers are unfiltered and are produced with craftsmanship and passion in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law. Particularly popular is Stefans Kehlengold, which refreshes and delights with its full-bodied character and stable malt body. In addition to his work as a brewer and urban developer, Stefan is a Bavarian ambassador and travels the world in this role to introduce Nuremberg to its specialties and attractions.
