Sigwarts history
Founded in 1451, Sigwart’s was by far the larger of the two town breweries for sheer production. It looks to have made some great strides with regard to their restaurant since my last visit. Perhaps with Schneider-Bräu out of commission for a few years, it filled their niche for higher quality meals. I was last there in 2012 so this is a review of the restaurant then but hope to return soon to check out their improvements.

I was there on my own a long time ago and didn’t have a camera with me. It was honestly before I was taking photos of beer anyway. I had pretty much every beer they offered and all were good if not quite as tasty as Schneider-Bräu’s. I returned in 2012 and only had the Helles and Pils, again good beers if in the area. I’m sure I’d travel all the way there to get them. The Schäuferla was also good but not up with the best in Franconia.
Sadly, the brewery ceased operation and their beers are now made by Brauerei Hofmühl. This has led to a big increase in that brewery’s beer in Weissenburg. Thankfully, Brauerei Pröls started using the old Schneider-Bräu facility and their beer is popping up at the better restaurants in town.
Beers: Sigwart Hell, Sigwart Premium Pils, Sigwart Tradition 555, Sigwart Hefeweizen, Sigwart Weißenburger Weiße, Sigwart Dunkle Weiße, Sigwart Leichte Weiße, Sigwart Keller’s.
