Veldenstein Castle towers over the Middle Franconian town of Neuhaus an der Pegnitz and is an authentic piece of history. The building from the High Middle Ages was probably built more than 1000 years ago and represents the architecture of its time with thick, fortified walls, an elegant observation tower and a beautiful castle complex. The protective and defensive structure above Neuhaus is surrounded by the Veldenstein Forest. This wonderful piece of nature is part of Franconian Switzerland and, in addition to a large number of rock formations, is also home to caves, wolves, which have become rare in our latitudes, and a variety of flora. The castle and forest are a never-ending source of peace and inspiration for the people of the region and give the Veldenstein brewery its name.
The brewery was officially founded in 1929, but by that time brewing had already been taking place in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz for almost 500 years. The town's citizens received brewing rights in 1522 and then built a communal brewery where everyone could brew their own beer. The beer culture in Neuhaus flourished for the next centuries until the brewery became an official and commercial brewery in 1929. From this point on, the residents of Neuhaus no longer had to brew their own beer, but could simply buy the fine brewing products fresh from the Veldenstein brewery. The descendants of the family responsible for this step are still at the helm of Veldensteiner today and run their company with an awareness of craftsmanship, quality and the value of the region and its people. Over the years, the brewery grew and expanded its premises with a new building on Auwald.
To keep up with the times, the brewery has given its logo a fresh coat of paint. The graphic designer Heinz Möhrdel modernized the design using bright colors and placed Veldenstein Castle centrally on the label. Despite the somewhat more minimalist approach, you can feel a connection to the brewery's tradition and the new look fits wonderfully into the brewery's concept. The Laus brothers are responsible for the wonderful beer from Veldenstein. With craftsmanship, high-quality ingredients and good ideas, they have developed a wide range of down-to-earth beers. Wolfgang and Josef can let their imagination run wild in the Veldenstein beer workshop: There are no limits to the brewers' enthusiasm for experimentation and they can try out old, long-forgotten recipes, innovative techniques and crazy ideas to their heart's content. The subject of beer is looked at from all sides and the team gains valuable experience, which sometimes leads to a new beer for the range.
