Don't think I've ever seen any discussion of this quaint little town west of Erlangen here before. The brewery in town, Heller, makes a very decent strongish Pils, quite hoppy when I've had it most recently at the Weihnachtsmarkt in Erlangen. There's also an unfiltered Dunkel which I've only had bottled, but is quite rich and characterful. Their Festbier has been good, if not particularly memorable. 

The Gaststätte has odd, limited opening hours, as seen at bier.by:

Öffnungszeiten:

 

Montag:

9:00-13:00 Uhr und ab 16:00 Uhr

 

Dienstag:

9:00-13:00 Uhr

 

Mittwoch:

9:00-13:00 Uhr und ab 16:00 Uhr

 

Donnerstag:

9:00-13:00 Uhr

 

Freitag:

9:00-13:00 Uhr und ab 16:00 Uhr

 

Samstag:

9:00-15:00 Uhr

 

Sonntag:

9:00-12:00 Uhr



I've never been in, but from the outside, it does look basic and unchanged since the 50's or so. Reminds me of the tap room at Greif. 

I was thinking maybe visitors to Franken might want to meet up there with a certain employee of a big nearby company for a happy-hour drink. The express bus (200) from Erlangen arrives at 16.11 (21 min), and then departs again at 18.45, though the slower bus runs more often. The town itself is worth a walk-through, at least the Hauptstraße with its two old towers.

Something to think about. Of course, if work schedules wouldn't permit it...
