The Best Craft Breweries In Strasbourg

With its German and French influence it’s no surprise that Strasbourg has a thriving beer culture. Adding to the charming winstubs and bars serving excellent local wines and classic regional beers, is a new generation of young designer brasseurs doing beer ‘their way’ and ringing in new styles and attitudes.

1. La Lanterne

Brasserie

There’s a très cool atmosphere in the Lanterne microbrewery with welcoming seating among the splendid copper kettles. This place revisits classics and introduces new varieties like the fresh Casablanca, a white beer, brewed with barley malt, wheat and oats for ‘vigor’.

2. Kohler-Rehm

Brasserie, Restaurant

An unbeatable location is the main strength of Brasserie Kohler-Rehm, smack in the heart of Strasbourg on the pedestrian Place Kléber. A tank of freshly brewed authentic Alsace beer made by a renowned master brewer from the Brasserie Storig in Schiltigheim is poured directly into your glass. That and a couple of freshly baked pretzels and you have a recipe for a lovely hour or so watching the light change as the afternoon sun fades. Indeed, you can’t beat half-price happy hour from 4pm to 6pm.

3. Au Brasseur

Alsatians love beer and the drink is one of the most iconic products of the area. Founded by Jean Hatt in 1764, the brewery L’Espérance, remained active until 1863 before closing its doors. After more than a century asleep, beer production began again in 1991 and the establishment was reopened to the public under the name Au Brasseur. Hoping to preserve tradition and perpetuate ancestral know-how, they continue to develop and produce their own beers two decades later.

5. Bendorf

A new micro-brewery was born in Starsbourg in 2013. Benjamin Pastwa launched his own micro-brewery Bendorf, a name that has nothing to do with the small Alsatian village of Bendorf, but is coined from the combination of his first name with the Neudorf district in Strasbourg where Benjamin is originally from.
