Independent brewery in Bavaria: We live beer culture!

We live and love beer art – since 1628

Our traditional independent brewery in Bavaria has existed since 1628 and is a family business. New ideas, sustainable investments, and constant development have always shaped our history. The secret recipe of our delicious, hand-brewed beers? Pure, natural ingredients of the highest quality, no artificial flavours, and open fermentation. The incomparable variety of flavours of beer at our independent brewery in Bavaria is based on a natural carrier of flavour: hops. Of course, those are only some of the secrets that make us unique among the independent breweries in Oberfalz and Bavaria. Visit us in beautiful Bavaria and find out more!

Only the best quality for breweries in Bavaria

Only the purest water from the Lengenfeld fields – vitalised with Grander® Technology – and the highest quality of malted barley from the region find their way to our independent brewery in Lengenfeld, Bavaria. We attach great importance to conscientious cultivation and care of the grain on our own farmland. After careful cleaning of the crops, they are malted by the local malting company, Ireks in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The grain matures for several weeks in mild spring water to form new germs which produce so-called green malt. The combination of our traditional brewery and the Bräustüberl in Lengenfeld is a reason to celebrate because our characteristic Winkler Bräu beer specialities perfectly complement our gourmet cuisine.

Excellent beer

Living Beer Culture at its Best

As an independent brewery in Bavaria, our beer specialities enjoy an officially recognised reputation of excellence – for example at the renowned “European Beer Star” competition or the Consumer’s Favourite Award. We were also particularly pleased about the award given to Hanns Konrad Winkler for “Living Beer Culture at its Best” from the “Bavarian Beer Awards 2014.”

“Handmade from the best raw ingredients – that’s how I like to describe our tasty beer specialities. As the son of two brewing experts, brewing is in my blood and passion in my heart. You can simply taste it.”

Georg Böhm
