Brauerei Gasthof Wolf history & atmosphere
Brauerei Gasthof Wolf was founded in 1746 and it’s been in the Wolf family since 1864. This small local has friendly owners and used to have warm food every day. The simple interior may have seen better days but the beer more than makes up for it and the food is quite good too, if you are lucky to find yourself there on days with hot meals. I would guess, Sundays are your best bet. It’s a real classic Franconian pub, the kind that is getting harder to find every year. So, visit while you can be forgiving if things aren’t perfect, that’s how some great things are.

The beer & food
Brauerei Gasthof Wolf had been on my radar for a few years before I finally got there in 2020. We arrived right when it opened and were the first and it seemed only guests that day. It was a Friday lunch and during COVID-19 so certainly understandable. We were warmly welcomed and asked to fill out the requisite paperwork during this pandemic. The reason for the visit, their Urtyp Dunkel was soon in front of me and it was great indeed, reason enough for coming in itself. We both went with their specialty of Rinderbraten. The sauce was excellent and the dumplings very much homemade. The owner explained it would take some time as they were being made fresh. They were worth the wait and it gave me more time for their beer!

While I was waiting, I had their Pils since it was listed as their main beer. It was quite good but I’d say a notch below their dark beauty. The Rinderbraten was a bit mixed. We both had one exceptional piece and the second one was a bit on the dry side. Of course, we both inadvertently ate the better slice first, but you have to be forgiving in these times when visitors must be down. The sauce and dumplings were excellent, though it seemed a bit pricey for the portion size. Overall, it was a very good meal and the beer was worth the trip to Brauerei Gasthof Wolf in itself.
Brauerei Wolf Bock
Wolf Bock
A friend was there and picked up a bottle of their Bock for me in 2024. I unfortunately couldn’t pick it up until a few months later and it was a bit oxidized. That said, I enjoyed it and appreciated getting my hands on one. I finally made it out to Brauerei Gasthof Wolf with him the following year, but not during the Bockbierzeit, hopefully I can get there in 2026.
