Wilde Rose Bräu Keller

While most Bamberg visitors make it to the next door Spezial Keller, those in the know are sure to visit the Wilde Rose Bräu Keller as well. It’s a beauty steeped in history. Wilde Rose previously had their beer brewed at Franken Bräu Lorenz Bauer but have shifted things to Brauerei Trunk in Vierzehnheiligen. The beer sure tastes great in these wonderful surroundings. This is Bamberg’s lushest Bierkeller by far and the pavilion and other various old time wooden structures make for a great atmosphere.

I’ve been here a few times and always bring visiting friends. It’s not far from both Greifenklau and the Spezial Keller so a great day out can be made of it.

I’ve found out that there is a great Bockbieranstich up here in autumn with a rotating Bock newly tapped. Last year it was the Hellerbock from Vierzehnheiligen, which makes total sense in light of them now brewing the Wilde Rose beer. I hope to get to it next year.  I did have their Maibock when there and it was excellent.

Brauerei Trunk steps in to brew their beer

I returned after a six-month lockdown and was happy to find the Wilde Rose Keller hadn’t changed a bit aside from a COVID testing center near the entrance. A friend had tipped me off about the change to Brauerei Trunk as their contract brewer.  Since I’m a fan, I was eager to check out the results. I can say that their Kellerbier is a success. I hope next year, there is more time to get ready and they brew their Maibock again. I’m sure they’ll do a great job.

a great Sunday brunch at Wilde Rose

It being Sunday, we got to enjoy a great roast duck breast and can safely say Wilde Rose will be a strong lunch choice if it’s good weather. Rather than contract brew a Weissbier, they carry Trunk’s own Bio-Weisse.

I have always stuck to their great value hot meals but recently tried their Kellerplatte. It was also excellent quality and big enough for two.

Silber Bockantich 2025

Though I’d had the Trunk Silber Bock in the bottle, I’d never managed to get to the brewery when this Hellerbock was on tap. So, I made sure to get to the Bockanstich at Wilde Rose in 2025. The brewery now supplies the contract beers here so it’s a no-brainer to do their Bockanstich there too. It’s a great venue with tons of space. It’s a good thing as tons of people attend it. Live music and atmospheric lighting evidently draws crowds.
