Einsiedler Brauhaus

A look inside Einsiedler Brauhaus.

From the brewing vessels to the bottling line, this visit takes us behind the scenes of the brewery — exploring the people, processes and details that bring the beer to life.

The Einsiedler Brauhaus seen from below against a clear blue sky, its red-brick clock tower with two white clock faces rising to a dark lantern roof and weathervane, and the long brick façade beside it carrying the green lettering EINSIEDLER BRAUHAUS above rows of arched cream-framed windows
Two Einsiedler brewers in the brewhouse — one in white bib overalls, the other in blue — standing beside a large stainless-steel brewing vessel, with the Einsiedler Brauhaus logo on the white-tiled wall behind them, filter tanks to the left and a terracotta-tiled floor
The round glass inspection hatch on top of a stainless-steel brewing vessel, etched with the Einsiedler logo and the Steinecker name, framed by star-shaped clamping knobs, with an amber signal lamp behind it and green-and-yellow tiles beneath the windows
Historic belt-driven machinery in a white-walled room: an electric motor on a concrete plinth drives large spoked iron pulleys mounted high on the wall and ceiling, whose long leather belts run down to a heavy rust-brown mill with a hopper on top, while sunlight from the windows falls in bright stripes across the dark floor
The keg filling line in a white-tiled hall: a stainless-steel filling machine behind wire-mesh guards, beneath a web of overhead pipes, with steel beer kegs standing in a curved row on a conveyor and a single keg on the roller track in the foreground, orange crates and a white bucket on the floor beside them
Tall brewing vessels seen from a low angle: dark ribbed cylinders rising out of view, resting on polished stainless-steel conical bottoms and pillar legs above a glossy hexagon-tiled floor, with blue hoses snaking across it and a pressure gauge on the steel column in the foreground
Looking straight up the side of a towering stainless-steel tank wrapped in ribbed white insulation, its curved flank rising towards warm ceiling lights and pipework, with further gleaming steel tanks crowding in on either side
A brewery worker in a grey hoodie and blue work trousers checking paperwork at the control desk of the keg filling machine, with black kegs stacked behind him and a steel keg with a red band travelling along the curved roller conveyor in the white-tiled hall
A worker in a high-visibility vest driving a red forklift that carries a pallet stacked with orange Einsiedler beer crates across the warehouse floor, past a pallet-wrapping machine, with steel kegs stacked on pallets in the background and black Einsiedler kegs in the foreground
The red-brick and cream façade of the Einsiedler Brauhaus seen from below against a pale blue sky, its lettering running along the top beside the clock tower, with a tall brick chimney, a grey silo and stacks of colourful beer crates at the foot of the building
Looking straight up at the brewery's tall patterned brick chimney and a white gas storage tank against a deep blue sky, with a slender yellow flue and the brick-trimmed roofline of the brewery between them
Small beer kegs on a wooden pallet in the brewery yard: three black kegs banded with the words “We love beer” and a green heart, beside a wood-grain keg with black hoops, with the red-brick brewery building and stacked crates behind
A brewer in a high-visibility jacket bending at a stainless-steel valve panel to draw a sample of cloudy beer into a clear measuring jug, beneath the conical base of a fermentation tank, with blue hoses running across the white hexagon-tiled floor
The brewer in a high-visibility jacket holding the measuring jug of beer in one hand while reaching up with the other to a thin sampling instrument on the pipework, between the sloping steel flank of tank number 10 and a stainless-steel valve panel
A young Einsiedler brewer in white bib overalls and a black hoodie holding a glass mug of golden beer up to the light to examine it, standing in a narrow brewhouse passage between stainless-steel vessels and pipework beneath a red-brick ceiling, with a colleague in the background
A symmetrical view down the brewery's fermentation hall: four great stainless-steel cylindroconical tanks, the two nearest numbered 11 and 12, slope down on either side above white-tiled concrete pillars, framing a central stainless-steel valve manifold on the back wall with a bright blue hose looping across the hexagon-tiled floor, overhead pipework running the length of the room and a steel wash trough with cleaning tools to the right
A historic carved wooden barrel head mounted on a red-brick wall, inscribed “Einsiedler Brauhaus”, “52 hl”, “Hopfen + Malz Gott erhalt's” and “Einsiedel”, decorated with carved hop cones, barley ears and laurel branches, with an old thermometer hanging beside it
A brewer's cupped hands, dusted with malt, holding a generous heap of dark roasted malt grains close to the camera
White sacks of Schuema malt piled high beneath two black Einsiedler chalkboards on a white wall, each headed “Farbmalz” with handwritten names, dates and arrows pointing down to the sacks, daylight coming in through the windows on either side
Rows of brown beer bottles with green crown caps standing close together on the stainless-steel conveyor of the bottling line, the nearest bottles large and softly out of focus, the line curving away towards the bright, blurred filling hall behind
A dense field of brown beer bottles with green crown caps filling the frame on the bottling line, the nearest necks sharp and glowing amber while rows of bottles and the bright lights of the filling hall dissolve into soft blur behind
A studio photograph of an Einsiedler cardboard bottle carrier standing on a pale tabletop against a black background: the blue-printed carrier shows the gold Einsiedler script and brewery crest above a dark blue banner reading “HELL”, with “Das Vollmundige” beneath and “Genieße den Augenblick” along the beige base, while the bottle necks rise above the rim — a dark-green cap at the rear, then brown bottles with a black cap and “SCHWARZBIER” neck label, a red cap and “LANDBIER” neck label, and a gold cap on a bottle of deep ruby beer with a cherry-decorated neck label
