Keesmann Bräu

According to legend, Bamberg is crossed by three rivers: the left arm of the Regnitz, the right arm of the Regnitz and the spring-fresh Bier. Anyone who thinks that's exaggerated doesn't know Bamberg. You don't drink water here, you drink beer here. In the Bamberg city area alone there are more than a handful of breweries that supply the small town with fresh beer. There are around 60 breweries brewing in the Bamberg region and the density of breweries used to be much higher. Keesmann is a Urbamberg brewery and an integral part of the city's culture.

Pils for President

Keesmann is not only Bamberg's cultural asset, but also one of the cathedral city's most famous breweries. Beers like Herren-Pils are known and loved far beyond the borders of Franconia. However, some people may have a legitimate question: A Pilsner in Bamberg? Yes! This is nothing unusual at Keesmann and has long since become the brewery's own classic, which not only Bamberg residents enjoy drinking. In general, regional, handcrafted beer is very popular in Franconia and there is a reason for that: the Franconians can do it easily, brewing beer.

On the contrary, you are likely to make everyone you share them with happy.

The miracle of the Wunderburg

The Keesmann brewery has been family-owned since it was founded in 1867. The Keesmanns are a long-established Bamberg family and have been brewing their wonderful beer in the Wunderburg district of Bamberg for more than 150 years. What Elisabeth Keesmann continues today in the fifth generation began with the master butcher Georg Keesmann. He decided that beer was the ideal accompaniment to ham, bratwurst and presssack. As a capable businessman, Georg didn't hesitate and completed his training as a brewer with a master's certificate at the ripe old age of 51. From now on, Georg not only made sausage products, but also brewed his own beer and the people of Bamberg were able to buy beer and Leberkäs from a single source in houses right next to each other. The men's pilsner was already popular back then and still makes up a large part of the production today.

No wonder, because this wonderful pilsner from the Wunderburg tastes simply wonderful!
