About Zoigl Falkenberg

The market town of Falkenberg in the Tirschenreuth district is one of the five main centres of Zoigl brewing in the Upper Palatinate. Throughout the year, the two active Zoigl taverns, Kramer Wolf and Hafnerkarl, take turns serving the "Echter Zoigl vom Kommunbrauer" – a bottom-fermented beer brewed in the communal brewery. Recognisable by the hanging Zoigl star, each serving point resembles a small Volksfest with hearty Upper Palatinate snacks. Against the picturesque backdrop of Falkenberg Castle, Zoigl culture is a living intangible cultural heritage.

Zoigl at the Foot of the Castle

The market town of Falkenberg in the northern Upper Palatinate, known for its distinctive Falkenberg Castle, is one of the five "capitals" of Zoigl brewing, alongside Windischeschenbach/Neuhaus, Eslarn, and Mitterteich. Located in the Tirschenreuth district, the town maintains a centuries-old brewing tradition that is part of everyday life here.

Communal Brewing and the Zoigl Star

Zoigl is brewed in the Kommunbrauhaus: a communal brewery where the communal brewers produce their wort using traditional methods, ferment it at home, and serve the finished beer in their own Zoigl tavern. The displayed six-pointed Zoigl star indicates which tavern is currently open. The brand "Echter Zoigl vom Kommunbrauer" stands for originality and quality.

Kramer Wolf and Hafnerkarl

Two Zoigl taverns are active in Falkenberg. Kramer Wolf regularly serves from Friday to Sunday from 11 am, opening approximately once a month throughout the year. Hafnerkarl has different opening hours on different days (Friday from 2 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am, Monday from 5 pm). Both taverns follow a rotating calendar, which can be viewed on zoiglbier.de and the official Zoigl calendar.

Intangible Cultural Heritage

Upper Palatinate Zoigl culture has been recognised as intangible cultural heritage under the UNESCO Convention since 2018. Visiting a Zoigl tavern in Falkenberg combines hearty conviviality, delicious snacks, and the unique atmosphere of a historic market town with a castle – an authentic piece of the Upper Palatinate Forest.
