Description
The district town of Kronach is characterized by the geographical location, the rivers Rodach, Kronach and Haßlach, which flow together there and not least by Lucas Cranach the Elder. He lived around 1500, was a friend of Martin Luther and mainly worked in Kronach and Wittenberg. The "Upper Town", as the old town is called here in Kronach, reflects this era with steep half-timbered gables, defiant sandstone walls and the hard, gnarled cobblestones. Little has changed here. Medieval brewing, the production of beer, was also a tradition in these walls. Several dehydration and brewing houses shaped the cityscape and were the focus of everyday life. Even though brewing was purely a woman's thing and common in every household at the time, the city of Kronach offered so-called “contract brewing” in two dehydration and brewing houses. With the advent of "industrial beer", these systems were no longer profitable and the city council decided in 1917 to "paint" the facilities - too bad! Exactly 92 years later, in 2009, we brought this tradition back to the old town of Kronach! Let yourself be enchanted by freshly tapped, naturally cloudy, bottom-fermented beer - whether light or dark - and enjoy our “Antlabräu” in the heart of Bierfranken, in Kronach. Our young craft beers are just as inspiring - with seasonal highlights from the brewing kettle you will experience a selection of beer specialties incomparable to Kronach!
