Fodor's Expert Review Klosterbräu

This massive old stone-and-half-timber house has been standing since 1533, making it Bamberg's oldest brewpub. The cuisine is basic, robust, filling, and tasty, with such items as a bowl of beans with a slab of smoked pork, or marinated pork kidneys with boiled potatoes. Klosterbäu brews a fine Rauchbier, but its brown ale is the reason to come.
