Brewing craft at Winkler Bräu

Did you know that in our independent brewery in Bavaria, beer is still brewed by hand? Clear spring water from the Lengenfeld fields activates the barley juice. The fine, bottom-fermenting yeast gives the beers their exquisite taste. For us, the purity law is not only an ancient tradition but the principle underlying the success of our high-quality brewing tradition. Only the best from nature finds its way into our brewing kettles where our master brewers combine the ingredients to create a unique blend, after all, brewing beer is an art that we have successfully dedicated ourselves to for almost 400 years.

Kupfer Spezial – the star at Winkler Bräu

Kupfer Spezial
Winkler Bräu ****S Gutshofhotel & Privatbrauerei

It is hard to believe that our award-winning speciality beer, the Kupfer Spezial, was created as early as 1975 when Hanns Konrad Winkler made a mistake during the malt kilning process thus creating the first brew of a special beer, the Kupfer Spezial. The following year, the cover of the malthouse chimney was renewed. The copper roof helped the Kupfer Spezial get its name. Once you have had a taste of it, it is hard to find another beer that is equal to our Kupfer Spezial in finesse, body, and a variety of flavours. Kupfer has a cult following!

Knowledge, heart, and attention to detail

Our awareness of natural flavours and state-of-the-art brewhouse technology is the result of large-scale conversion and modernisation measures throughout our brewery. The greatest care in purchasing the ingredients and a slow, open fermentation give our beer specialities their unique taste, which can only be found in small breweries nowadays.
