Brewery Description:
Since 1608, superb beers have been brewed on the site of the Anker Brewery. The selection ranges from naturally cloudy Kirchweihbier, special festival beers, through Pils, light and dark lager beers, to four outstanding Hefeweizen varieties.
By the way the brewery symbol, the golden anchor, does not stem from immigrants from the coast, but was originally a guesthouse symbol, directing travellers to a safe harbour and accommodation for the night.
The Anker Brewery is a modern, innovative small brewery with an annual beer production of 20,000 hl of beer and 10,000 hl of Libella Lemonade. The business employs 20 full-time and a number of part-time workers. At the moment 6 young people are being trained in various aspects of the business.
Since 1990 the Anker Brewery has been the last remaining brewery in Nördlingen.
