Brauerei Übelhack, Weiglathal

Highlight • Restaurant

The Übelhack brewery has been brewing the tasty Weiglathaler beer according to the German Purity Law since 1870. It is a bottom-fermented full-bodied beer that is made according to a traditional family recipe. The idyllically located inn offers a rustic restaurant and a well-kept beer garden in summer. In addition to the delicious snacks, the bratwursts are highly recommended, especially the sour Zipfel, which are bratwursts that are prepared in an onion broth.
The opening times and much more information can be found at: weiglathal.de
