Indulgence with a monastic tradition

It’s been written on our bottles for generations.

The Carmelite monks

Brewed according to a traditional recipe

KARMELITER is one of the oldest beers in Bavaria; our roots go back to the early Middle Ages. Our old home, the Carmelite monastery in Bad Neustadt an der Saale in Franconia, was first mentioned in a document in 1352. In the same year, the Carmelite friars began producing their delicious monastery beer.

Tradition and future

Over 670 years of brewing tradition

And it wasn’t long before the excellent beers were not only popular around the tower of the monastery church, but throughout the wonderful Rhön region.

Unfortunately, the monastery brewery no longer exists today. What has remained, however, are the recipes that have been handed down for centuries, the demand for the highest quality and the passion for brewing delicious and drinkable beer.

In this way, we have succeeded in doing something that has become very rare nowadays: bringing values, quality and centuries-old tradition into the future.
