Description

The Gessner private brewery looks back on almost 400 years of tradition and has been brewing the best beers in Sonneberg, on the edge of the Thuringian Slate Mountains, since 1622. The family business is now in the 14th generation, an experience that you can taste: The traditional expertise, together with crystal clear water from its own well, the best raw materials from the region and the highest Thuringian brewing art, guarantee real quality beers, which are produced on an annual basis by DLG Gold and have already been awarded a Federal Honorary Prize several times. Brewing is strictly in accordance with the German purity law and old craft tradition, but always following technical and technological progress - and always keeping pace with the times, as the diverse types of beer in the Gessner portfolio show. In keeping with family tradition, the owners Manuela and Bernd Schäfer have dedicated themselves to the ideals of their ancestors, according to the motto: “Beer needs a home!” Tradition and a feeling of locality are the keys to the continued success of the Gessner private brewery, which is just like today used to brew a range of beers and lemonades with a lot of love, craftsmanship and perseverance, which has found many friends from southern Thuringia to the far north of Germany. This can also be seen in the figures: With an annual beverage output of 145,000 hectoliters, the family business is now the largest private brewery in Thuringia. “Our tradition is our obligation. We guarantee that with a handle and a seal. "
