Tucher Privatbrauerei

The city of Nuremberg is known for two things: the small, hearty Nuremberg bratwursts that are sold in pairs at Weckla and the Christmas market that takes place every year during Advent. But the Franconian metropolis has much more to offer: the historic old town is a wonderful place to stroll, the imperial castle offers an insight into Nuremberg's past and the city has its own recipe for spicy gingerbread. In addition, delicious beer has been brewed in Nämberch, as the residents affectionately call their home, and has been brewing for hundreds of years. Tucher is a long-established brewery in the city.

350 years of wonderful Nuremberg beer

The Tucher house has been brewing since 1672. At that time, the municipal wheat brewery was built and brewing began under the direction of two officials. The brewery came into the hands of the Tucher and got its current name in the middle of the 19th century: the noble Tucher family of Simmelsdorf took over the brewery and began to spread the word about the fine Nuremberg beer out into the world. Less than twenty years later, Tucher's beer was already a popular export product and was part of the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. During this time, the brewery won numerous awards in international competitions and made a good name for itself worldwide. In the wake of this success, Tucher took over several other breweries and expanded diligently. Nowadays, brewing takes place in two places: in the historic brewhouse on Schillerplatz and in the 2-City Brewhouse. The former contains the brewing equipment from the last century - the perfect basis for brewing what is probably Nuremberg's most traditional and typical beer. Only the classic red beer is produced in the copper pans and kettles. A comprehensive renovation and years of searching for the perfect recipe made this stroke of genius possible. The 2-city brewhouse was built in 2007 and took its name from its location, which is located exactly between Fürth and Nuremberg.

Attention to detail

The brewery's range has constantly expanded and improved since it was founded more than 350 years ago. What has remained the same, however, is the dedication and passion with which brewing has always taken place here. A team of master brewers brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the hallowed halls and makes beer that has character. In addition to these experts that can be found in every brewery, Tucher also employs a very special person: the yeast master is exclusively responsible for cultivating the yeast and carries out this task with just as much pride as his colleagues in the brewhouse. The yeast comes from the Sapienza strain and was bred in the brewery itself. We love this enthusiasm for every little detail!
