The Greif Bräu goes back to the Kapuzinerwirt at Sattlertorstrasse number 18 in Forchheim. In 1848, the Josef Greif brewery was founded on this site. At that time, the beer was brewed 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 gave it not only its current name, but also a lot of perspective. The clever businessman bought an ice cellar and laid the foundation for the path into the future. Over the course of 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 wide range of products. In addition to a core range of beers available all year round, such as Hellen , Landbier or 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 Franconia's millennia-old beer culture. 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 another attraction of the brewery. It is a popular meeting place for young and old, and not just during the Annafest, which is well 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 already received many awards for their traditional Franconian craftsmanship. In 2021 they received gold at the World Beer Awards.
You can taste the care and wealth of experience of the family business with every sip. A real treat!
