HISTORY
The hops for the Franconian Pils are slowly roasted on the hot bottom of the copper brewing kettle. This hop roasting process is so unique that we have filed a patent application for it. Through roasting, the hops develop a unique intense aroma. At the same time, they impart a distinct fruity note to the beer. The result is a spicy light lager that can confidently be called the forefather of the Pils.

OUT OF TRADITION
Our Promise
Our beers are just like Konrad Graser: full of character.
Graser beers are unlike any others. Each one has a unique craft feature that sets it apart from normal beers. This distinctive technique in the brewing process gives Graser beers their unmistakable flavor. That’s why each one tastes like no other. It’s all part of our tradition.
Original recipes based on Bamberg’s oldest brewing tradition
Before Konrad Graser took over Hellerbräu, he ran the former Michaelsberg Brewery for many years as owner and brewmaster. The brewing logs containing his recipes date back to that time. The Michaelsberg Brewery, with documented brewing rights dating back to 1122, is considered Bamberg’s oldest brewing tradition.
Graser beers are a family affair today, just as they were back then.
What would Konrad Graser say about the fact that his descendant, Matthias Trum, is breathing new life into his beers? He would surely be proud. Today, Matthias Trum—the sixth generation of his family—runs Hellerbräu, which his great-great-great-grandfather took over after his time at Michaelsberg.
Graser beers are like ambassadors from a bygone era. They tell the history and stories of the city, beer brewing, and Hellerbräu. We want to introduce them to beer lovers and the people of Bamberg, sip by sip.
