Discover „Bierstadt Erlangen“/ discover Erlangen as a „City of Beer“
Every year at Whitsun, “Ein Prosit” is one of the most frequently used phrases in Erlangen: during one of the oldest and most charming outdoor folk festivals in the world, the “Erlanger Bergkirchweih". This event attracts approximately one million visitors every year, and the whole area around the “Burgberg” turns into one big happy get-together accompanied by music, excellent festival beer, dance, play and fun.

Still, even though this festival only lasts two weeks you can experience authentic Franconian beer brewing tradition in Erlangen all year round. Our two breweries offer guided brewery tours which can ideally be completed by enjoying some beer tasting and a hearty Franconian “Brotzeit” snack. And a brewey’s maid named “Emmy” will introduce you to the 19th century “Bierstadt Erlangen”!
