Vestenberg brewery closure again

Posted by Jürgen Wening on 2011-11-23 05:20:26

Mario, brewmaster at Löwenbräu Vestenberg, has a broken bottle washing machine. It's not repairable and would have to be replaced. A new one would cost approximnately € 100.000. That he can't afford. I made a contact with brewery Leuchtturm, Gunzenhausen. They were desperately looking for a new brewer, as their american brewmaster Lance didn't come back to Germany after a visit to the US. So Mario is brewing Leuchtturm-Bier now, as well as Vestenberger Bier, both at Gunzenhausen. He will keep the Brauereiwirtschaft at Vestenberg. Hopefully the brewery will run again in the future, but Mario doesn't think so. Jürgen
