Lower Franconia is a lovely bucolic area dotted with small hamlets and a surprising number of regional breweries not to be missed by the intrepid beerwanderer. This details a road trip to Strecks Brauhaus in Ostheim, Rother-Bräu in Roth, Pax-Bräu in Oberelsbach and the Wittelsbacker Turm Bräu at its namesake tower.
Hopfengarten Hopfen Zupfer is a balanced brew with a malty if thin palate and semi-dry finish.
BroBier Keller Pils/Zwickel is a lightly hoppy unfiltered beer with a fair grain element and lingering semi-dry finish.
BroBier Vollbier is a balanced brew with a fresh malty palate and semi-dry finish.
BroBier Helles is quite hoppy and dry for the style but will appeal to Craft Beer enthusiasts seeking out something outside the traditional in Bamberg.
Brauerei Seelmann was closed for some time and their old pub is still only available for events but they do bottle beer and this Helles is a fine one if you can get your hands on a bottle.
Lindenbräu Fitzel is a balanced citrusy session beer with a clean, dry, semi-bitter finish.
BroBier Vollbier is a balanced brew with a fresh malty palate and semi-dry finish.
