Favourite Kellers
Posted by Jason on 2020-06-27 04:38:50
This isn't so much a list of my favourties, but a list of the most well-known kellers in the region. It's not exhaustive and I'm sure I've forgotten loads. Forchheim kellers not included as it's a little different. Regarding comments on beer, keller's change hands quite often and beer quality rises and falls accordingly. I have based comments on my visits. Location isn't so much a + or a - depending on where you are - Wettelsheim keller is a must visit and easy to get to with the train. But as most people base in Bamberg...
