Kulmbacher Bier

Kulmbacher Bier is brewed following centuries-old traditional brewing techniques. The first monastic brewery appeared in 1349, but it is believed that communal breweries existed before that. This local beer must be brewed under German Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot), and it can only be made with malt, hops, yeast, and soft, locally-sourced spring water.

Various styles are available in Kulmbach, including Eisbock, Export, Pils, Festbier, and Hefeweizen. Kulmbacher Bier must be produced within the administrative borders of Kulmbach.
