| A well balanced amber coloured Kellerbier; full bodied flavour with a smooth, dry and hoppy finish. Worth a journey! | ||

| Sitting in biergarden is a must. Good bier and a good choice of Franconian snacks. One of my favorite stops. | ||

| Agree with other reviews. Friendly service,good local fare washed down with a fine Kellerbier. Outside very 70's! | ||

| A very flowery but spicy Kellerbier with an unusual bright golden colour. Among the best I know. Deserves more attention! | ||

| Soft, fruity-and-dry Lagerbier with some hops. | ||

| Sadly their Keller was closed the day we visited in July 2009 due to the rain so we settled for the gasthof and enjoyed the Kellerbier along with some lunch. Very friendly people. | ||

| Very pleasant dryish beer served in a most friendly pub. Among the best Franconian Brotzeit-snacks as well. | ||
| Comment from Dr. Heinzel on 12/2/2003 3:58:56 PM | ||
| Dark brown beer; low carbonation; full bodied, but not too malty or sweet. Surprisingly bitter - but not unpleasant - for a beer of this colour. Fine ! | ||

| Krug is the best of the best when it comes to Bavarian beer. Stephan Krug and his small team make all the bier and swartzbrot (dark bread) which is heavenly when ziebelekase is spread on the bread and washed down with their fabulous lager. Try the sampler plate. Probst, Larry | ||

| Once you manage the vicious cycle ride from Bamberg, this is a great reward. The beer is one of the best Kellerbiers in the Bamberg area. Very refreshing, hoppy beer after a punishing, (mostly)all-uphill cycle ride. Unfortunately, our trip was sickeningly interrupted by the arrival of one "Bernard Denbow" on a (his words) "Tortoise Bike". His desperate, slow pace and diabolical local "humour" disturbed not only our little party, but also the locals and the nearby wildlife. This man should be hounded from the entire European continent!!!! | ||

| One of the best swartzbiers I have had. | ||
| Comment from Andrew Clarke on 11/19/2006 2:34:52 PM | ||
| Whilst it is a lovely old brewery/pub the beer(Lager)was not among the best I sampled over the weekend. A very grassy taste with an unpleasant finish. Perhaps just a bad batch. Mind you at ?1.60 a half litre it is hard to be too critical! | ||
| Comment from Jürgen Wening on 12/14/2006 1:57:05 PM | ||
| That dark amber coloured and very satisfying old fashioned Vollbier is really worth sampling. Draft only. Very charming pub also. Lucky people in Geisfeld, with two absolutely great little breweries!!! | ||

| Meine lieblings bier!!! By far one of my favorite biers. Always has a hoppy ballance, good schaum. Ask Stefan about his special bier. He normally kuches up a special once or twice a year. Schwatzschaff in March or April. Great brotzeite.. Oh, hey the brot is from the bakerei litzendorf but your right, very good. We all miss our bedinung Julia. She was the quickest, prettiest, perkyest little thing around. To bad she took a job at Hooters in Schweiz. Oh well, still have good bier! Tell Stefan Robert the "Ami" sagt Gruss. Tschuss- | ||

| Visited in July 2009 on a rainy afternoon after stopping by Griess first. Had a few beers and some food and both were very good. The kind of good, down to earth quality and atmosphere that I've come to expect from a Franconian brewpub. | ||

| Schone wieder auf der weg! Great stop between the Rossdorf keller sauer and Krug. A fine keller with plenty of room and overhead cover in case of rain. The bier is..rather..well, ok but the atmosphere will make up for that. Live bands every now and again are fun loaded. Tell Stefan in the keller Gruss from Robert the Ami. Tschuss | ||

| Can't possibly count how many bicycle trips I've made to "Franconian Tuscany" and the Griess Keller. The most excellent, hoppy, complex, bitter, pale, Kellerbier is served by bayerischer Anstich here, or gravity pour, as opposed to under CO2 at the Brauerei up the road. The setting is hard to beat. I've got a couple of photos tagged to the location via googlemaps. | ||
