First mentioned in a document dating from 1585, Greifenklau brewery can be traced back to a cathedral canon known as von Greifenklau. Situated on top of a hill (Am Kaulberg) on Lau- renziplatz square, the beer cellar behind the inn commands a breath-taking view of Altenburg Castle.

Deeply rooted in the district of Gaustadt and formerly known as Bürgerbräu Gaustadt, Kaiserdom has grown into Bamberg’s largest and probably most international brewery dating back to 1718, and exporting much of its beer abroad.

The Wunderburg area is home to two breweries situated opposite each other: Keesmann was established in 1867 and is ac- commodated in an impressive sandstone building, featuring a large passage and serving hatch to the side, a cosy public room and a beer garden.

ABUNDANCE AND VARIETY IN BAMBERG’S SURROUNDINGS

With a total of nearly 70, Bamberg’s rural areas can lay claim to having the highest density of breweries in the world. They include larger breweries, small brewpubs that brew beer solely for their customers, and, of course, the experience brewery where the brewing copper stands proud in the middle of the inn. These country breweries and inns are all worth visiting. They have a great atmosphere, their own unique history and, of course, their very own specials. The brewpubs in Bamberg’s rural surroundings are often the beating heart of village life, bringing locals and holidaymakers together in a relaxed and casual setting. The revival of historical cellars, such as in Unterhaid’s Bierkellergasse Klosterbräu was first mentioned in 1333 and founded in 1533, (Beer Cellar Lane), is a living testimony to the long tradition and and derives its name from the close-by former Franciscan mo- culture of brewing beer in the local area. nastery.

12 13 THE HISTORY OF BREWING

ble advantage over other sectors and led to a period of strong growth. In 1756, Prince-Bishop Franz Conrad von Stadion made an important contribution to preserving the quality of beer by introducing a duty of disclosure for spoilt beer. In Bamberg, the beer inspectors (Bierkieser) monitored the quality of beer. These sworn authorities would always work in pairs and appear without warning to sample the beer. The punishment for way- ward brewers and/or innkeepers went as far as stripping them of their title as a master brewer and/or their licence to serve drinks.

The brewers were very skilled in their craft: In the 19th century – the heyday of Bamberg’s breweries – brewing coppers would be steaming in 65 breweries while the locals could choose from 22 beer cellars. Even though the number of breweries in Bamberg went into decline from the late 19th century onwards, the locals OF MONKS, BEER INSPECTORS AND BEER WARRIORS still loved their beer and the craft of brewing.
