Wagner Bräu GmbH & Co. KG
Our brewery was first mentioned in a document in 1788.
Since then, we, now in the 7th generation, have grown a Franconian, rustic brewery and inn.
This long tradition is of course also a commitment to the best quality and production in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.
History that you can taste with every glass of our tasty and typically Franconian beers.
