The Staffelberg is a landmark of Franconian Switzerland and towers over the Lichtenfels district. The high plateau was already inhabited in the Stone Age; today there is a chapel and a cozy restaurant on the flat summit that offers cold beer and other refreshments for hikers. A popular treat after the arduous climb are the beers from the Staffelberg-Bräu - the family brewery is located at the foot of the hill and is in its fifth generation brewing the finest beers for mountaineers and everyone else.
The origins of the brewery go back to the innkeeper Jakob Geldner, who opened the inn in Loffeld. His son Jakob continued the company and added a brewery. From 1866 onwards, beer was brewed in our own brewery and served in the room next door. As tradition demands, the brewery property was passed down from generation to generation. To this day, the Geldner family is at the helm and supplies the region with good beer. The brewing water for the barley juice comes from a mountain spring not far from the brewery: in 1959, the spring was discovered and pipes were laid to bring the crystal-clear water directly to the brewhouse. In addition to this excellent water, the remaining raw materials also play a key role. Both the ingredients for the beer and the basics for the food in the restaurant are sourced from regional farmers. Under sustainable considerations and the expert hands of chefs and brewers, the valuable commodity is then processed into delicious products.
Tradition is important to the Geldner family. This is reflected in the fact that the family is now in its fifth generation. But the high quality standards and hospitality are also based on Franconian traditions. The guest is king and is welcomed with home-made food, freshly tapped beer and a cozy atmosphere. For the greatest possible transparency and quality control, the meat comes from our own slaughterhouse and is processed into roasts and other delicacies according to traditional family recipes. You can experience a piece of Franconian culture from time to time in the brewery hall: the brewery makes its premises available for plays, concerts, cabaret and other events. The passionate hosts always have their tasty beer at the ready. The range includes a whole range of down-to-earth, handcrafted creations that impress with their taste and balance. The Franconian beer variety includes classics such as Helle Vollbier or Märzen , but also offers non-alcoholic alternatives, strong beers and seasonal specialties.
