History & setting:
Founded in 1778, this small village brewpub is a popular stop for hikers and bikers alike. They flock from nearby Bamberg and even closer Scheßlitz for their renowned Dunkles Lagerbier and tasty warm and cold dishes. On the edge of a pretty forest that will bring you scenically to the atmospheric Castle Geichburg, Köttensdorf has few sights in the village itself aside from the village pub with its rustic wooden interior and fine beer.
Hoh’s rustic interior & their Helles in krug and Bock
The beer:
We didn’t have much time as we had to catch a bus in Scheßlitz about 45 minutes from our arrival. We had a good half hour hike back to town, too! So, I got their very tasty Bock and my wife got their equally nice Helles. I guess we’ll have to come back again for their Dunkles Lagerbier. As it was, we got to the bus stop about three minutes before the bus.

The food & summer visit:
I finally managed a return visit and in summer no less so got to sit in their pleasant and busy courtyard. It was grilled Haxen Friday but I’d had a big lunch and couldn’t even think about tackling one of those monsters. Most were drinking the Dunkles Lagerbier but I did see a few people drinking their Helles. We didn’t have much time so I opted for the beer I’d missed on my first visit which revealed itself to be a dry, low carbonation quaffer.

|Brauerei Hoh 250th Anniversary Fest:
I was lucky to score a lift from Patrick Murphy to the 250th Anniversary Fest at Brauerei Hoh in May 2025. We got there in the morning and there were already quite a few people enjoying a Weisswurst Frühstück with their specially brewed Festbier. It was quite hoppy for the style but with plenty of malt backbone and a hint of caramel. Hopefully, they don’t wait 50 years to brew another!
