Titting is located in the middle of the picturesque Altmühltal Nature Park. Lush green meadows, lush forests and streams with crayfish and trout surround the idyllic village in the Eichstätt district. Countless hiking trails crisscross the area and invite visitors from near and far to relax in the countryside. Cycling tours, hikes and excursions make you thirsty, and the people of Titting know this. Beer has been brewed in the Titting moated castle since 1707, supplying locals and guests alike.

Princely beer

What once served as a summer residence for the Eichstätt Prince-Bishop Marquard II Schenk von Castell is now a popular tourist attraction in Titting and the home of the Gutmann brewery. Beer has been brewed in the castle for more than 300 years. The brewery's eventful history began when Prince-Bishop Johann Anton I Knebel von Katzenellenbogen established a brewery in the moated castle. The gentleman with the amusing name wanted to make sure that fresh beer was always on hand and simply brought the brewery directly into the house. After a roundabout route, the brewery finally came into the possession of the Gutmann family in 1855 and has remained so to this day. With great care and expertise, the Gutmanns maintain their traditional heritage and brew beers that are still of princely quality. The beer that the family has always been known for is wheat. Gutmann wheat has been brewed since 1913 and has been constantly improved and optimized since then. The original taste is preserved and maintained with great care and expertise.

History meets modernity

Despite all the tradition, the Gutmann family has not failed to take a step into the future. In 1989, the brewery entered into a cooperation with the Jura-Land producer association and has since sourced its grain from natural, neutrally controlled cultivation. This makes them pioneers in terms of regionality and sets a good example. In order to guarantee excellent quality, the Gutmann family has created their very own purity law. Hand-picked raw materials, mineral-rich brewing water from the brewery's own well and transparency in all steps of the process ensure that the beer is uniquely good. The Gutmanns are involved in every step and even dry their grain in their own malt house. The range of products at the Gutmann brewery is constantly growing and the specialization in wheat beer makes the brewers real wheat experts. You can see and taste the experience, specialist knowledge and the great passion with which the Gutmann family pursues their goals. The Gutmanns have been brewing their excellent wheat beer for six generations now and contribute to the cultivation of beer as a cultural asset with numerous festivals and events.

Here, beer is brewed with heart and craftsmanship.
