Brauerei Goss
Since 1877, the Goss Brewery has been brewing its beers in the beautiful Laber Valley according to the motto “small but perfectly formed.”
Four bottom-fermented beers are brewed using traditional brewing techniques and state-of-the-art technology.
The raw materials for brewing beer come from the region.
The most important raw material, malting barley, is grown on the brewery’s own farm and malted at the Herrmann floor malting plant in Regensburg.
The aroma hops are primarily sourced directly from hop farmers in the Hallertau region.
Those interested in learning more about this noble barley and its production can take part in brewery tours.
