Kulmbach Beer Week

In 2025, the Beer Week once again gathered thousands of visitors per day in the Bierstadl on EKU-Platz. The four festival beers — Kulmbacher, Mönchshof, EKU, and Kapuziner — were served in their specially brewed festival week versions. Franconian cuisine was classically on the menu: Schäuferla (pork shoulder), half a chicken, Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), and Weißwurst-Frühschoppen.

Remarkable was the first Brewer's Baptism in the history of the Beer Week — a newly introduced tradition with which the Kulmbach brewery ceremonially welcomes young brewers into its ranks. Furthermore, in 2025, the city of Kulmbach and the brewery signed a contract extending the Beer Week cooperation until 2036.
