Formerly known as Schwanenbräu and founded in 1581, it’s been in the Wunderlich family since 1875. This mid-size brewery produces a large range of beers and has a strong presence in their region.
three bottles which prompted my visit
I had picked some bottled Herbsthäuser beers when in Distelhausen a year prior to my visit but I didn’t do a tour of the brewery. I did eat two meals at their Brauereigaststätte, during which I sampled their beers on tap.
