For more than three years, Nuremberg's culinary landscape has had one more attraction: Orca Brau opened its doors in 2017 and has been enriching the German beer landscape ever since with handcrafted beer specialties.
The head, heart and hand behind the company “Orca Brau” is Felix vom Endt. The young, wild brewer had a rather unusual start in the illustrious world of beer. Like all of his fellow brewers, Felix always enjoyed drinking beer. However, unlike the others, he not only drank it, but also wrote about it. Felix founded one of the first beer blogs in Germany and tested his wits and thirst through the offerings on German beer shelves. At some point, his professional interest in drinking led him to make his first attempts at the kettle. The future brewer's first creations were created at home at the stove. Before his career on the mash paddle really got started, Felix first went out into the world. He flew to Canada with his wife Susa and had his first experiences with craft beer. The spark was lit and Felix was passionate about his new craft. He arrived in the sacred halls of the Heidenpeters brewery via a detour. There he learned everything there was to know about the craft of brewing and managing a brewery, and also inherited the old brewing system. With a plan in mind and baggage, Felix and his family moved to Franconia. Franconia is not only the secret beer center of the world, but also the home of Felix's wife Suse. The adventure could begin!
As a pioneer of the craft beer movement in Germany, Felix is an old hand in the business. And even though his own brewery only saw the light of day in 2017, it has already produced a ton of fantastic beers to date. The small brewery has set itself the goal of producing the finest craft beers and works as best as possible with regional, hand-picked ingredients. Felix combines tradition and modernity in a creative and innovative way and brings a breath of fresh air to Franconian beer culture. In addition to down-to-earth classics like the Kellerpils , Orca Brau also has unusual exotic items like a quince IPA or a rhubarb sour on the shelf. The young brewery offers a delicately put together mix of great craft beers with character and taste. You can also taste the Franconian cosiness that Felix finds so attractive.
The vom Endt family chose the name Orca Brau out of pure fascination for the elegant animals. With a bit of luck, the gentle giant can be observed directly from the coast in Canada and has thrilled Felix and Suse with his wondrous nature. Orcas are family animals and a symbol that will always remind them of Canada. The perfect name for your own brewery!
