Brauerei Fischer history
Founded in 1702, I passed through in 2012 but the brewpub was closed. So, we continued on to their Bierkeller on the edge of the next village, Zentbechhofen. It was a great little place and both of the Fischer beers were excellent. Sadly, it is now closed. Even more sad is the fact that Fischer stopped brewing in 2017 before I got a chance to return.
Post brewing visit 2020
This was a bit of a bittersweet visit. The interior was empty as it was a nice day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, it wasn’t possible to just pop in for a few photos. I sat out in the very nice Biergarten. I started with the Kellerbier and it wasn’t nearly as good as I’d remembered. It seemed overly flat, even for a Kellerbier. It was quite busy and most people were drinking it so don’t think it was a bad sample. I might have left after that but I’d walked a fair distance to get there and the previous village’s brewpub in Zentbechhofen had been unexpectedly closed. So, I got the Rauchbier too. I was glad I did as it was much better, especially carbonation-wise.
The “Fischer” beers
I’m glad I finally got to back Fischer albeit too late. If I were walking by, I’d drop in again but it is on the remote side and there are many real breweries nearby so it’s not likely I’ll be doing that anytime soon.
Beers: Kellerbier, Rauchbier, Weizen, Bockbier (Christmas) on tap. Bottled Lagerbier.
Fischer’s Keller (reopening on Easter 2026 as Zentbechhofner Keller)
Greutherstr. 26

closed permanently
We walked out here from the Kellerberg area near Hallerndorf. It was well worth it though they were a bit overwhelmed by the crowds so we weren’t able to get any food due to such a long wait time. The beer, however, was great as was the setting.
It is set to reopen as the Zentbechhofner Keller at Easter 2026 with beer from Friedel, Schlenkerla and Rittmayer.
