About Brewery Tavern Schlekerla

In the middle of the old part of Bamberg, directly beneath the mighty cathedral, one can find the Historical Brewery Tavern Schlenkerla. First mentioned in 1405 and now run by the Trum family in the 6th generation, it is the fountain of the Original Schlenkerla Smoke Beer as well as a restaurant long lauded for fine Franconian cuisine.

About Smoke Beer (Rauchbier)

For thousands of years, maltsters had no choice but to dry their grains during the malting process over open fires. In Franconia, the kindling of choice has always been beech wood, and its smoke imparts a wonderfully spicy and meaty flavor in the malted grain and resultant beer. While most of the malting—and therefore brewing—world has gone away from direct-fire malting, Schlenkerla has continued to both smoke malt and employ smoked malt in the brewing of their fine brews. Their range of beers stands among the most singular in the world.
