Hausbrauerei Altstadthof
An old town brewery crafting organic beers since 1984, famous for its traditional Nuremberg red beer, historic rock cellars, and hearty Franconian fare.
Located at Bergstraße 19-21 at the foot of the Imperial Castle, this venue features a brewery pub (approx. 40 seats), a restaurant (approx. 90 seats), and a beer garden. It claims to be Germany's first 100% organic brewery and also distills its own organic whiskey. The signature drink is the historic Nuremberg city beer, Rotbier (red beer), alongside dark beer, red wheat beer, and seasonal brews. The food is Franconian, with mains including roast pork shoulder and brewhouse beef goulash. The courtyard serves as the meeting point for guided tours of the historic rock cellars.
