Your traditional brewery in Merkendorf
Where excellent beers and traditional Franconian cuisine are at home
THE family brewery from Merkendorf
Family-run in the 7th generation
Brewing has been taking place on the historic estate in Merkendorf since 1556. Nestled in the picturesque Bamberg countryside, we have been passionately brewing our beers since 1846, family-run under the name “Brauerei Hummel.” We use carefully selected, regional ingredients and traditional recipes that reflect the character of our region in every sip.
Our long-standing customers and beer lovers appreciate our variety of beer specialties.
A range that leaves nothing to be desired.
Your taste experience starts here!
