Bockbieranstich 2027: Brauerei Kronprinz Bamberg/Gaustadt

Bockbieranstich 2027 at Kronprinz in Gaustadt

In Bamberg's Gaustadt district, inside the historic Art Nouveau building of the former Fischerhof, Brauerei Kronprinz traditionally invites guests to a Bockbieranstich each autumn - this tradition is expected to continue in 2027. The building was constructed in the mid-19th century as the "Fischerhofschlösschen" and served as a weekend meeting spot for monks from St. Michael's monastery roughly 250 years ago. Brewing began here in 2016, originally under the name "Erlkönig" as a craft beer brewery, before being renamed "Kronprinz" the same year.

What to expect at Kronprinz

• The tapping of the seasonal bock beer at the brewery's open kettle house, integrated right into the dining room
• Traditional Franconian dishes such as Bohnakern with dumplings, Krustenbraten, and schnitzel
• Historic atmosphere inside the Art Nouveau building of the former Fischerhof
• Alongside the core beers Helles, Pils, and Bernie, changing specialty beers are also on offer
• A meeting point for beer fans in the quieter, slightly outlying district of Gaustadt

2027 date: not yet announced

An exact date for the 2027 Bockbieranstich has not yet been announced by Brauerei Kronprinz. In previous years the event took place in autumn; details on the exact date, program, and prices for 2027 are typically published on the brewery's website closer to the event.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Surroundings in Gaustadt

• Gaustadt lies a little outside Bamberg's old town; the brewery can be reached on foot along the left arm of the Regnitz river, or by city bus to the Gaustadt Fabrikbau stop, right across the street
• Arriving by car from Bamberg is straightforward
• Since the brewery restaurant is open continuously every day, it is worth a visit outside the Bockbieranstich too
