I was born and raised in Nuremberg and spent most of my life here. Quite some hours herof I spent in the local night life, even as a part time job. As a passionate drinker and enjoyer of beer, especially the world renowned Franconian beers, I have collected quite some knowledge and experience. I'd love to share these with travellers from all over the world and introduce them to the history - and of course to the taste - of these little pieces of hoppy art. And I'll bring the first beer. Depending on season, day and time we'll visit a few pubs and bars which focus on Franconian beer, located in the heart of Nuremberg's old town. The usual starting point is in front of the renowned St. Lorenz Church. We then move between the Artisan's Yard (Handwerkerhof), castle and White Tower (Weißer Turm).
