Goldene Gans history
Founded in 1989, this small brewery is housed across the street from the popular Biergarten. There is an adjacent pub which is currently a sushi restaurant that serves the Goldene Gans beers on tap. There was a sign outside heralding the pub’s reopening in winter 2024. We’ll see how it pans out. In the meantime, the best place to sample their beers is at the Biergarten just across the road and scenically set on the Main River.

Beer
I stopped at the Goldene Gans Biergarten for lunch on a very sunny spring da. I was warmly welcomed despite being a few minutes before official opening! The manager explained they don’t always carry their Pils and that it was indeed not available that day. So, instead of getting a small pour of their Hefeweizen, I got a full size as he also explained their small glasses are without their logo. He also told me about their Maibockanstich on May 1st. A server saw me sitting there alone taking pictures and asked if I’d like one of me with my beer. It was a very nice start, especially compared to some places where you’re not sure you’ll even get any service!
a great day for the Goldene Gans
Food
I’d had a late breakfast but the service was so friendly, I decided to have lunch there rather than my next stop, Alter Kranen. Goldene Gans Biergarten has a relatively small menu but there’s certainly something for everyone with a few salads and typical Franconian Brotzeit. I got Bratwurst and moved onto their Helles.

Maibock
I finally returned in May 2026 to sample their Maibock. I am happy to report that it’s my favorite of their beers I’ve sampled. It was also nice to see the Goldene Gans Biergarten with their trees more full.

I’m sure I’ll return to this incredible little Biergarten with the great view and even greater service. If you are in Würzburg, I’d do the same. They even had a fair selection of Franconian wine!
Beers on tap: Goldene Gans Helles, Goldene Gans Hefeweizen, Goldene Gans Pils. Seasonal Goldene Gans Maibock.
