Meissner Schwerter Independent Brewery

  • Retail
The Meissner Schwerter Private Brewery, Saxony's oldest private brewery, has been synonymous with authentic Meissen brewing traditions, specialty beers, and brewery experiences since 1460.
Meissen isn’t just known for its winegrowing; it’s also a city with a long and carefully preserved brewing tradition. For more than 565 years, the Schwerter Brewery, located in the Zaschendorf district, has been cultivating authentic Meissen beer culture, placing great emphasis on preserving the ancient art of brewing. The beers are still brewed according to time-honored craft traditions using traditional brewing methods. But it is also the masterful care and experience of the master brewers that shine through in these first-class beers.

The lineup includes various beer varieties as well as seasonal specialties, which are served fresh on tap in the attached brewery restaurant. The rustic dining room and beer garden invite guests to linger and also provide the perfect setting for celebrations and events. [dresden-elbland.de]

The brewery tours are a special experience, during which visitors learn interesting facts about the company’s history, the traditional art of brewing, and the beer-making process. Products can be purchased directly on site at the attached factory outlet.
