News General news
Our brewery in Bayreuth now offers a unique new experience: The “Braukunstwelt” invites visitors to discover beer production, the ingredients used, and the craft of brewing in a completely new way.
                                Under the motto “4 ingredients, 1,000 possibilities,” guests experience how water, malt, hops, yeast, and the passion of the master brewers can create an almost infinite variety of flavors and beer styles. With interactive and sensory stations, the Braukunstwelt offers a fascinating adventure that appeals to all the senses and is second to none.
4 ingredients, 1,000 possibilities – explore the world of beer brewing like never before
The Braukunstwelt conveys in a unique way how master brewers create an incredible variety of flavors and beer styles from just four raw materials – water, malt, hops, and yeast – thus becoming true brewing artists. Each individual ingredient is presented clearly and in depth at the interactive stations to explain its importance in the brewing process in an understandable way. This is achieved with the help of state-of-the-art technology and the expert support of partners BarthHaas, IREKS, the Weihenstephan Research Center at the Technical University of Munich, and Doemens. 
Together with them, Maisel & Friends has created a unique beer experience that appeals to all the senses. “There is no other place where so much expert knowledge about beer can be experienced at once. Bringing all this together is an achievement of our collaboration with our friends and partners,” explains Michael Feuerstein, managing director of our Bayreuth beer experience world. This cooperation exemplifies the philosophy of Maisel & Friends: “No one can know everything – that's why we build on the individual strengths of our friends. Together, we combine our expertise and passion to create unique and unforgettable experiences,” adds Michael Feuerstein.
