Franconian Switzerland is not only dotted with rock needles, clear streams and dense forests, it also offers its visitors a whole range of small traditional breweries. The density of breweries in Franconia is higher than anywhere else and you can choose from countless craft breweries, some of which have been brewing the finest beer for several centuries. One Franconian institution is the Ott brewery, which produces wonderful beer in the Leinleiter Valley.
Beer has been produced in the brewery's premises for more than 300 years, and the driving force for the last 200 years has been the Ott family. Since 1822, the Otts have run the brewery with passion and craftsmanship, passing on the old brewing traditions from generation to generation. In the brewery's own inn, you can enjoy hearty delicacies to go with your beer, and the beer garden is a great place to linger in the summer. The beer for roasts, snacks, etc. is made by the brewers' hardworking hands. The raw materials for the fine wines are selected with the utmost care. The brewers attach great importance to details, which is why the brewing water is something very special: the crystal-clear water is mountain spring water and is characterized by its perfect degree of hardness and pure purity. A wonderful basis for good beer! The sun-ripened grain and aromatic hops are hand-picked and give the beer its strong character and diverse flavor nuances. With plenty of peace and time, the beer matures to its full glory in the brewery's fermentation cellar before it can be served and bottled.
A popular beer speciality from Ott is Obaladara . This wonderful full-bodied beer was named after the brewery's home town: in the regional dialect, the tongue twister "Oberleinleitener" becomes Obaladara. The tasty beer has an alcohol content of 5.3% and impresses with a fine variety of powerful roasted malt notes. The malty fullness is supported by a harmonious caramel note. A hint of hops elegantly rounds off the malty aromas and makes the beer a real speciality. In addition to this Franconian creation, the brewery has a number of other classics of German brewing on offer. There is also seasonal beer twice a year: spring is welcomed with a full-bodied bock beer and in winter the Ott brewery brews a wonderful festival beer that will accompany you tastefully through Advent.
