The fine beer specialities have been in existence since 1690 in our castle brewery. You could experience a piece of brewing history by trying / tasting our beer. What makes our beers so unique? The FÜRST CARL beers are still brewed today following the traditional method, in the copper kettle in our historical brew-house. Our ingredients are natural and come from Ellingen and the surrounding region: water from our own spring, hops and malt from Ellingen and our region, Franconia. With the craft of our brewers and the love of beer we create our very best Franconian beer specialties. Our beers are truly excellent and beer lovers around the world are passionate about them!
