Beer Near Nuremberg | 5 Guides

Franconia boasts the world's highest density of breweries, and the beer culture here differs distinctly from Bavaria's south—smaller breweries, more varied styles, and a tradition of Bierkeller carved into sandstone hills where locals gather on summer evenings. Our beer guides take you to the village breweries where the same families have brewed for generations, the Bierkeller of Bamberg and its unique Rauchbier (smoked beer), and the brewery trails that let you sample your way through this beer lover's paradise. Discover why Franconian beer enthusiasts consider this region, not Munich, the true heart of German beer culture.
