Bamberg is a real beer city: the liquid gold accompanies the numerous festivities throughout the calendar year, it is drunk at any time of day or year, it can be found on every corner in the city and the surrounding region and most Bamberg residents have a small weakness for it. The city's beer culture goes back almost a millennium and has accompanied the citizens of Bamberg through ups and downs, wars and weddings. At its peak, the cathedral city was home to almost 40 breweries, today there are still just over a dozen and almost every town in the surrounding area has its own brewery. The largest of the Bamberg inner-city breweries is the Kaiserdom specialty brewery.
The traditional brewery dates back to 1718. Around 100 years ago, the brewery came into the hands of the Wörner family and is still run by them today. Felix Wörner currently represents the fourth generation of his family. Under his leadership, a new low-energy brewhouse was built in 2018, which went into operation a year later. The young brewery boss also dared to leap into the present with an innovative technology for dealcoholizing conventionally brewed beer and with the installation of a CO2 recovery system. Protecting the environment is just as important to the Wörners as their beer. Production is designed to save water and energy, and the electricity for the brewery comes from alternative energy sources. All raw materials are sourced from farmers in the region: the hops grow in the sun-drenched Hallertau, the yeast is bred in Bamberg, the water is extracted from the brewery's own deep well and the malt comes from farmers in the area. These hand-picked raw materials make the good beer from Kaiserdom what it is.
Reconciling innovation and tradition is a challenge that all breweries have to face. Kaiserdom manages this balancing act by combining the tried and tested craftsmanship of their homeland with fresh ideas. The Franconian brewing craft has been passed down from generation to generation and each master brewer has added the innovations of his time. In addition to environmental protection, the youngest generation's hobbyhorse is export: In order to spread the word about the wonderful Bamberg beer around the world, the brewery has specialized in selling abroad. Their success is evidenced by their brews, which can be found on beer shelves even in far-away Asia, and the awards that the brewery has received for its creations at renowned competitions.
