Berg Brewery Ehingen

The Berg Brewery is a beer brewery in the Berg suburb of the city of Ehingen .

history

The first documentary mention dates from July 12, 1466. On this day, the “inn on the mountain” is named in a fiefdom letter from Archduke Sigmund of Austria as the “inn with the right to bake, boil and other butcher's shops” . In 2016, the company therefore celebrated its 550th anniversary.

The Berg brewery has been family-owned since 1757 and is now in the ninth generation.

St. Ulrich's Festival

Since 1911, the St. Ulrich's Festival has been celebrated in the brewery's courtyard every year on July 4th and the following weekend . The Ulrichsbier was brewed as a special beer for the first time in 1911 for the St. Ulrichsfest .
