Tours are available by appointment.

The Schussenrieder Erlebnisbrauerei is a fairly large operation, much of which is visible through large windows on the brewery grounds. Their Gasthof comprises what seemed like eighty or ninety different rather large dining rooms, decorated in what Americans might call a "northwoods" style. On the next floor up, you'll find what's billed as "Germany's only beer stein museum", which really does house an impressive collection.

"Mensch, lauft des guet na!"

"Immer wieder...Schussenrieder."

Beers cost €1,90 for a 300-ml glass, and €2,50 for a half-liter.
