Founder Georg Keesmann was a butcher. At the age of 51 he went to university and earned the brewing qualifications he needed to start his new business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to a 2013 visit report, it was the only brewery in the city that has stayed in the same family since its founding. You'll find the brewery at Wunderburg 5, behind the brewery pub. Mahrs is also in the same district. Annual production is around 15,000 hectolitres, large by Bamberg standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pub itself is traditional, with a wooden interior. In the Schwemme, the passage by the entrance, regulars stand and drink a beer they get through the serving hatch. Behind the building is the Brauhof-Garten with around a hundred seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHerren Pils as the signature beer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best-known beer is Bamberger Herren Pils (4.6%). It is a pleasantly bitter pilsner that, according to the 2013 visit report, makes up more than 90 percent of production. A pilsner is not an obvious bestseller in Bamberg, and that is exactly why Keesmann stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year-round range also includes Sternla Lager (5.0%), Weisse and Hell, which is only available in bottles. In autumn the Bock follows, with a well-attended Bockanstich as the opening party. During Lent the brewery serves Josephi-Bock, a bock that was originally brewed for St Joseph's Day in March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeesmann Bräu at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the Keesmann Bräu Weisse, a weizen in 50 cl.
