Braunbier. This is another throwback to the good old days but still very much a style and while you don’t see many around nowadays, they are lurking here and there. If familiar with Märzen, they’re similar in their malty quality, are light brown to amber in color and generally around 5.5%.

Acchörnla

Klosterbräu Braunbier
a trio of Braunbiers still lurking about
Bamberg’s Klosterbräu Braunbier is a fine one and if in Bayreuth, try Schinner Braunbier. It’s contract-brewed but still a tasty tipple. One of my favorites was Acchönla from Forchheim’s Brauerei Eichhorn but they sadly closed in February 2022.
Next up Dampfbier or back to Beer Styles.

I'm an American living in Munich. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also just published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria. View all posts by beerwanderers
