Beer City Erlangen -
23 Breweries and Brewing Sites
from Past to Present


From the Beginnings to Today

Long before the 17th century, the first innkeeper families were already brewing beer here and the first beer cellars were created – the beginnings of a tradition that reaches into the 21st century.
The industry that shaped Erlangen's cityscape developed in the heart of the old town, the brewing centre. Today, the (probably) world's only brewery that brews inside a hill, stores inside the hill and serves its beer directly from the hill exists in "Erlanka"!

Breweries & Specialities

Beer in Erlangen is more than a drink, it's the DNA of the City – it is an expression of community, joy and Franconian way of life.

Local breweries offer unique beer specialities –
from cellar beer to seasonal rarities such as "Enno", the "Goldblondchen" or the "Bergkirchweih beer".
Don't miss the unique taste of Erlangen. Catch the spirit of the modern tradition!

Tour 3a) Beer City -
without tasting

In addition to the historic and current brewing sites, the tour also takes you through the baroque old town. (Duration approx. 120 minutes, wheelchair accessible possible)

Tour 3b) Beer City -
with tasting

Same as Tour 3a), but with tasting breaks – depending on opening hours and availability. Plus catering rate at the spot.
(Duration min. 180 minutes, partially wheelchair accessible possible)

The Bergkirchweih has been held since 1755, what means it's 55 years older than munich Oktoberfest – history and historically significant places explained on the spot. The reason why the Bergkirchweih was worthy of being awarded as a Bavarian "Intangible Cultural Heritage" in 2026.

Being Human
