Search for Franconian breweries is a comprehensive feature allowing the beer explorer to find over 352 entries by brewery name, town, region, transit hub or on an interactive map.
It is an ever growing list of places that I have visited in Franconia. So far it’s about 236 breweries/brewery taps, 41 Bierkellers and 75 restaurants/pubs in 205 towns. There are many on my radar in 2026 so check back for updates. With the growing popularity of Zoigl, I’ve now included it here though in the Upper Palatinate, east of Franconia.

Search for Zoigl by town.
If you know the town the brewery is in, look it up that way. If you will be visiting a larger town like Bamberg or Nürnberg, search for breweries by region to find ones nearby. They are often reachable by public transport.
As for regional listings, they are helpful but if you don’t find good public transportation from the towns in the region, check neighboring ones. For example, the Fünf Seidla Steig® is most easily accessed from Nürnberg but the breweries are in the Forchheim region. No worries, most of the breweries are in either the Bamberg, Forchheim or Bayreuth regions. Those can be great towns to access them by but you can also check their accessibility from Nürnberg as it is the best connected city in Franconia.
Beer isn’t the only reason to visit Franconia, have a look at their food, too.
