More About Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen

Schlenkerla's Smoked Wheat Beer is a deep amber German brew from the historic city of Bamberg, Bavaria. Crafted with a mix of barley and wheat malts, it combines the fruity, yeasty character of a classic Bavarian wheat beer with bold, savoury aromas of smoked meats—an acquired taste that's beloved by many. Brewed by the legendary Schlenkerla brewpub, located in a 12th-century inn, this beer is part of a unique regional tradition where smoke plays a central role. Even their unsmoked Pilsner picks up a hint of the house character from the nearby smoking kilns. Draughts are still poured from oak casks, preserving centuries-old techniques that make Schlenkerla one of Germany’s most distinctive and storied breweries.

Meet the Producer, Schlenkerla Brewery

Schlenkerla Brewery

Style: Brewery

Most breweries spend years trying to create a distinctive house character. Schlenkerla smells like a bonfire before you even open the bottle.

Based in Bamberg, the historic brewery has been associated with smoked beer for centuries and remains one of the defining names in Rauchbier. The brewery tavern itself dates back to the early fifteenth century, while the brewing tradition that became Schlenkerla has been preserved through generations of family ownership.

The signature Märzen is brewed using malt dried over beechwood smoke, giving the beer its unmistakable character. Smoke dominates initially, often bringing comparisons to cured ham, campfires or smoked bacon, but underneath sits a remarkably balanced Franconian lager with malt sweetness, bitterness and surprising drinkability.

What catches many people off guard is how quickly the palate adjusts. The first sip can feel slightly shocking. By the third glass you start wondering why more beer does not taste like this.

Bamberg remains the spiritual home of Rauchbier, and Schlenkerla continues to prove that brewing traditions survive best when nobody feels the need to apologise for them.
