Schönau Beer Cellar Festival

Brewery Tradition in the Bavarian Rhön

Schönau an der Brend is a small community in the Rhön-Grabfeld district in the far north of Bavaria. Its special treasure is the historic village brewery, where beer has been brewed since 1851 – a living testament to Franconian-Rhön brewery culture. The Schönauer Bierkellerfest puts this tradition in the spotlight.

Festival of the Kolpingsfamilie

The Bierkellerfest is organized by the Kolpingsfamilie Schönau a.d.Brend, which organizes the festival on a voluntary basis, thus preserving village community life. The venue is the historic village brewery with its beer cellar, where the house-brewed beer is served in a convivial atmosphere.

Living Local Culture

The Schönauer Bierkellerfest is more than just a beer festival – it is an expression of living local culture in the Bavarian Rhön. The close connection between brewing tradition, the voluntary commitment of the Kolpingsfamilie, and village community makes the festival an identity-shaping event in the Rhön-Grabfeld district and an authentic experience for visitors to the region.
