To the blue grape there was a brewery in Weißenburg in Bavaria , a large district town in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . The brewery was located in the building at Luitpoldstrasse 28 on the corner of Zur Schranne .
history
In 1774, master baker Johann Georg Übeleisen bought the house and set up a restaurant. In 1774 he received permission to build a brewery. This makes the Blaue Traube the second brewery, after the Golden Lion , to receive this permit to brew “brown beer” in Weißenburg. From 1836 the “Blue Grape” is owned by the Michel family, Johann Michel runs the brewery until 1868, followed by Wilhelm Michel until 1901, his son Wilhelm leads the company until the merger with the Mack brewery to form the new Mack & Michel brewery . Since the brewery moved to the premises of the Mack brewery, the Blaue Traube was continued as a restaurant. In 1975 the restaurant was given up and the building was converted into a commercial building.
Summer cellar
With the permission to brew "brew beer", the Blaue Traube also needed a summer cellar , which Übeleisen had dug just below today's Araunerskeller in 1776. This cellar was never used as a restaurant.
