German Brewers Are Reviving a Historic Beer Style by Smoking Hops

"A centuries-old Bamberg brewpub dating back to 1405, located in the heart of the Altstadt, renowned for a wide range of Rauchbiers whose malts are kilned over oak, cherrywood or alderwood (rather than the region's typical beech). Offerings run from subtle, smoky hints to bold bacon-like smoke; a gentle introduction is a very low-alcohol “small beer” brewed with second-use malts to produce subdued smoky flavor and just 0.9% ABV. The tavern also integrates smoked malts into food — including smoked-malt bratwurst and a flaky vegetarian pastry — making it a focal point for Bamberg’s smoked-beer and smoked-food traditions." - Adam H. Callaghan

I loved this place. Felt like a real tavern. Food was great. Service friendly toward tourists. A great place for lunch or breakfast. It was wonderful to get in from the cold. Make sure you have the special smoked beer.

An authentic Bamberg brewery and restaurant. Because it’s ranked at the top of almost every tourist guide, it does get very crowded with visitors – many of whom just wander through or have a quick beer while standing. But if you take the time to sit down, order and enjoy the excellent beer, it’s well worth it. The food is hearty and tasty, service is fast, and while the staff aren’t overly friendly (a bit of an assembly-line feel), they are attentive. The only real downside to dining outdoors is the sheer number of flies – you’ll be busy fighting them off for your meal.

Well-known place, but I felt the food was just okay. I was very disappointed in the service. When I arrived a lady told me to wait- and she went off and never came back. Then another younger male server told me I can sit in a seat that was for four people. I sat there for 10 minutes and no one came with the menu. Then another older server asked me to move to another table that was for 1 person. The food came out quickly as well as the well-known beer. The only thing I was impressed was by the restrooms- that had automatic sliding doors and clean spacious interior. Would not come again 😔

Famous for their Rauchbier I now got to try their food. They got the typical local dishes. We had the Krustenbraten and Tafelspitz. Both dishes were well prepared. They are quite busy in summer, but they made space for our large group. Great hospitality. But for some reasons they do not entertain bachelor parties.

It is the Bock season. We travel from far and wide, Scotland in my case, to sample the glorious Urbock? What happens? Finished by 19.30. No new Faß, bottles only. I can drink them in my own country. If a fridge can retain the chill of the Märzen overnight, why not the Urbock? You are letting so many people down.

We visited this place for lunch and sample Franconian kitchen and the legendary smoked beer. We were greeted by a very pleasant man in glasses who told us many interesting things. Overall, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We didn't have to wait for a table; we were seated right away. The atmosphere is very authentic, in the old German style. We ordered sausages with cabbage and beef brisket with potato ball in a creamy cranberry-horseradish sauce. Everything was delicious, I highly recommend it!

Great beer garden. Ate here both nights I spent in Bamberg. Managed to get through the entire list of smoked beers. The red lager was my favourite

This was our second visit of this brewery and restaurant, our first visit was in 2021 but we were not able to get a reservation for a meal then. We had lunch here but the pork knuckles was bit on the dry side but with good flavor. The mushroom quiche.was delicious! We went uphill for about half mile to visit there brew house and one of retired brew master gave us a grand tour of the facility, showing us how they smoked the malt to get that smoky flavor in to the beer and we also went down to the cellar and try the beer directly from the brewery ! If you visit Bamberg, this is the place you must visit!
