http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discuss.php A virtual Stammtisch for discussing Franconian beer en-gb http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ501 Hebendanz and Greif are usually open mid-afternoon, in my limited experience.
Neder is a good traditional tavern for meal and beers.
Greif has a pleasant little bier garden out front. And nearby in the shopping centre, there is a shop selling bottles of Franconian beer from many breweries.
For visits to Forchheim I would normally recommend a visit to the Kellerwald. But how many kellers are open, if any, is dependent on the weather and time of year (mid Sept may be OK, if the weather is still warm).
Another good trip from Forchheim is to the Kreuzberg kellers. There are many postings on this board about this.]]> http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ5 http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ6 I'll be visiting Bamberg from the 22nd until the 28th of July.  Should you be a fellow visitor or even live in Bamberg - and feel like a seidla or two then feel free to make contact here. 

Thank you, 

Matt. ]]> http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ706010101 http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ7060101 that's why this surprised - they seem to be making a push to increase business including more music events.]]> http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ70601 http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ706 https://maps.app.goo.gl/57zqyGD5CR5xpaqc8
which seems to have invested significantly as we saw much more covered seating, food-trucks, bratwursten, etc.
We had their Pils which we learned is brewed by Br. Trunk (14 Holies).  we also enjoyed the kellerbier which might be from a barrel.
   Nice quiet stroll down the hill in the moonlight as last-call was 10pm and saw that Stohrenkeller was closed tonight but Galerie am Stephansberg was open.]]> http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ705 https://www.bambergbeerguide.com/pubs.php?IDKEY=11

  which feels modern/touristy to me but in the shadow of the Schloss, wrapped in greenery and a trickling stream.  Lager drank like a Dunkel and  better than expected. That had a Wegseidla branded bottle with Dompfen(Cluster?) hop aroma at 3.7% that seemed popular.

Only 4 tables chockfull of old boys -- the whole place felt like stammtisch that we were invading.  good unfiltered krausenbier and how can they stay in business charing so little
   More a time machine than museum

to me, beautiful would timbers and good beers from locals who live upstairs(the grandson gave us directions) but mainly supported by tourists?

Local fruit schnapps are worth trying such as Mirabellenbrand or Zwetschgenbrand. Note that these are full strength liquor, not the sweetened liqueurs sold as "schnapps" in some countries.

And why not try the classic soft drinks of the region: Spezi and Apfelschorle. ]]> http://www.bambergbeerguide.com/discdet.php?IDKEY=ZXJ802
Maybe some glass of Hefeweizen could convince her to drink beer? That is usually good starting point to beer non-drinkers :)
