“Cervisiam bibat! - Drink beer!” That was the advice of the nun, Saint Hildegard von Bingen, 900 years ago. Brewing beer was always an important skill in monasteries and convents. And in Alpirsbach, high in the Black Forest, that tradition continues today. To find out more about the history and techniques of brewing in ancient times, join the “Beer Brewing in the Middle Ages” tour, all about the Brewing Art of the Monks (in English on request). And, of course, you can also taste and drink the beer at the end of the tour. In the “Cellarium”, the monastery cellar, you can fortify yourself with locally-baked bread, spread with lard, and washed down with a naturally-cloudy unfiltered Alpirsbach beer. Ninety minutes southwest of Stuttgart.
