The home of the Sandersdorf Castle Brewery is a very special one: Located in the Eichstätt district, Sandersdorf Castle is in the heart of the Altmühltal. Dense forests surround the town, gentle hills with lush green meadows alternate with lush fields crossed by small streams, rock formations and cultivated slopes. The varied landscape is peppered with old castles and palaces, historical ruins and picturesque towns and at every corner you can enjoy the region's down-to-earth cuisine and a cool, freshly tapped beer. A popular place to go is the castle brewery in Sandersdorf, which offers tasty beers made from organic raw materials.
Before the current owners took control of the brewery, the Barons de Bassus ran the company. Back then, the fine beer was brewed directly in the castle until a new location had to be found due to space constraints. The brewing system was relocated and rebuilt on the shady northern slope in front of the castle. In this context, the rock cellars were also created, which to this day reliably cool the beer and refine the taste. Under the leadership of the nobility, the brewery flourished and became known beyond the borders of Germany. In 1995, the Barons separated from their brewery and the owners changed several times until Leonhard Salleck and Jacob Horsch finally took over the reins. They continue the rich brewing tradition at Sandersdorf Castle and combine the advantages of their homeland, which is rich in raw materials, with the art of brewing from nine generations of brewing craft.
In order to put the finishing touches on their beers and live up to their responsibility towards the planet, the Schlossbrauerei team decided in 2010 to adhere to Bioland's strict rules. Only companies that are committed to using raw materials from controlled organic farming and that also meet the requirements for the gentle and sustainable processing of the ingredients may bear the organic seal. The reason why the brewery decided to take this step is obvious: the surrounding landscape not only provides peace and strength, but also produces everything that is needed to brew a good beer. In return for this rich gift, it goes without saying that the Sandersdorf brewing family protects the nature of their homeland and gives something back. The brewing process is designed to be as organic and natural as possible. This includes, for example, the cooling of the beers in the brewery's own rock cellar, which is kept at a constant temperature all year round without using electricity. For those areas where electricity is essential, energy from renewable resources is used. The brewery also plants trees to encourage bees and insects and works efficiently thanks to state-of-the-art brewing technology.
