Spezial-Brauerei Schierling

The Schierling specialty brewery is one of the avant-gardists of German beer culture. The traditional company is the first brewery in Bavaria to specialize in brewing Pilsner.

Pioneers from the Upper Palatinate

The tranquil town of Schierling in the Upper Palatinate was already a hot topic in Napoleon's time: the legendary general defeated the Austrians at the foot of Schierling. And there is also something else going on in the city, which is more than a thousand years old. For example, the first official Pilsner brewery in Bavaria was founded here. At the time the brewery opened, dark, smoky beer was still drunk everywhere in Bavaria. The Pilsner was a nice change from these heavyweights, but first had to find its way into Bavarian beer culture. The Schierling specialty brewery did a great service and created the beer that would later become the most popular beer in Germany. The Schierling specialty brewery was founded in 1834 and at that time still bore the venerable title of Princely Direction Brewery. It was run by the Thurn and Taxis family and went through several changes of ownership and name until it was finally named the Schierling Specialty Brewery and was able to concentrate fully on brewing the finest beers.

Pilsner and more

Today, the tradition-conscious brewery not only has excellent Pilsner in its range, but also a number of other down-to-earth classics. One of our favorites is Schierlinger Rye . The beer is advertised with the slogan “A beer like black bread” and is a real traditional beer that was popular as early as the 15th century. With great effort and a lot of tinkering, the Schierling specialty brewery has brought an ancient recipe back to life and has been offering Schierlinger rye again since the mid-90s.

In Schierling, people celebrate cosiness and social gatherings. Traditionally, people meet in the welcoming Schierlinger Braustüberl to philosophize about life over a glass or two of beer. The homemade beer specialties taste wonderful with hearty cuisine and can be enjoyed both in the cozy inn and in the beer garden.

Pure Bavarian attitude to life.
