What do the Archangel Gabriel, Peter, and a Franconian beer wagon driver have in common? Quite simply: a mission! And nothing less than to bring Erlangen's glorious beer history back into the public consciousness. Experience the unique flair of our city as "Schorsch, the Beer Wagon Driver," with humor, charm, and a barrel full of anecdotes, strolls through Erlangen's history.
Amidst old cellar walls and new streets, Schorsch – in authentic period costume – recounts the golden age of beer around 1870, when beer flowed freely in Erlangen and horse-drawn carriages dominated the cityscape. But the journey doesn't stop in the past: With a wink, Schorsch shows how traditions have transformed – from clattering hooves to high-powered deliveries.
Of course, one thing is a must: the beer itself! As part of the tour, participants will be offered a liquid taste test at the beginning and end – in true style and right on the spot! This way, history is not only told, but also tasted.
