On finding Unfinden

Unfinden lies in the Hassberg county of Lower Franconia. The cute village is home to Brauhaus Unfinden, a communal brewery restored and reopened in 2008. Though they do not sell to the public, they hold a Braufest in June and Bockbieranstich in late November, where you can sample their beers and donate money to their admirable cause.
