The legendary Weyermann® Specialty Maltings in Bamberg — supplier to the world's finest craft breweries — opens its doors for a guided tour of its historic malthouse, roasting halls, and sensory malt lab. A deeply exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience for the discerning palate.
What to expect
Your expert guide walks you through the entire malting process — from raw barley to the kiln-roasted specialty malts that define Bamberg's brewing heritage. You'll inhale the intoxicating aromas of the roasting drums, handle different malt varieties in a hands-on sensory session, and conclude with a structured tasting that pairs malts with finished beers. The historic red-brick building is itself an architectural gem.
