The Kaiser Bräu is a piece of Franconian brewing culture and a traditional brewery that has been supplying the region with delicious, down-to-earth beer for more than 90 years.
Before the brewery became Kaiser Bräu and brewed using its own brewing system, the beer was produced in the Neuhauser communal brewery. The tradition of communal breweries has its origins in the 14th century and enabled the citizens of a town to brew their own beer. The community set up a fully functioning brewery and rented the facility to its residents. However, not everyone had the right to brew: in some places you had to have an official brewing right registered in the land register, in other regions anyone could swing the mash paddle. Some of these public breweries still exist today and invite interested hobby brewers to try out their personal recipes and ideas. Kaiser Bräu belonged to the Kuckucksbrauer since 1929 and has been an independent brewery since then. Due to the small annual output, the brewery was able to brew in the communal brewery until 1965, but later demand increased and Kaiser Bräu built its own brewhouse. When this new building was bursting at the seams, the brewery moved from the center of Neuhaus to the Auwald forest. Since then, the brewery has been brewing there using the latest brewing technology and innovative ideas.
In order to produce good beer with a clear conscience, the brewery has imposed a strict environmental concept on itself. The brewing process takes place under the most sustainable conditions possible. This includes the economical use of precious water, careful waste separation and recycling, training in conscious and responsible use of nature, energy-saving measures and the implementation and support of projects to protect the environment. The environment also plays a role in the choice of raw materials: the brewery places great importance on regionality and values transparency and the highest level of quality. The malt comes from Franconian malthouses, the hops grow on the sunny slopes of Hersbruck and the yeast was carefully cultivated in-house. The end result is a beer that is worth every effort. In order to constantly improve, the brewers take part in international competitions and submit themselves to the judgment of expert judges. Countless prizes and medals prove what we already thought: the beer from Neuhaus is simply great!
