Sauer Brewery

The Sauer Brewery is a brewery based in Roßdorf am Forst . The Sauer brewery is a family business that mainly markets its products regionally in the Bamberg district and in the nearby city of Bamberg .

history

The brewery and the tavern have been owned by the Sauer family since 1784. The brewery is mentioned for the first time in a document as early as 1720 with an attached farm and inn. The company is now in the sixth generation.

brewery

The brewing of naturally cloudy, unfiltered beers is typical of a Franconian brewery. Because of the sandy soil in the area around Roßdorf, the brewing water has practically no degree of hardness and is particularly suitable for brewing beer. The formerly seasonally brewed brown beer has been produced all year round since 2010 . While beer production in 1993 was still 2500 hectoliters, the output in 2011 is around 5,000 hectoliters.

It is filled in three different types of bottle: Pils and brown beer is in 0.5 ltr. Euro bottles , the wheat beer in 0.5 ltr. NRW bottles, the Urbräu in 0.5 ltr. Resealable swing top bottles filled. The beers are also bottled in barrels.

range

The products are all labeled as "ROSSDORFER", below which the type of beer is named on the label. The brewery's rock cellar is shown in the logo.

Inn

The inn is a typical Franconian village inn with a bar, wood inventory, tiled stove, regulars' table and an adjoining room. The kitchen serves Franconian dishes. The guest room has around 80 seats.

Rock cellar

The former ice cellar was used to cool and store the beer until the 1960s. The Rossdorfer Felsenkeller is a vaulted cellar carved into the rock. At the turn of the century, a two-story house was built over the basement. Today the cellar serves as a beer garden with a bar and the guests therefore sit “on the cellar”.
