We live in a village with 100 inhabitants – idyllic and truly close to nature. Protecting this environment is a matter of course for us. As a member of the Quality Association of Environmentally Conscious Businesses (QUB) and of the Bavarian Environment and Climate Pact, we are committed to this issue not only as individuals but also at a corporate level. Our priority is the proactive prevention of future environmental impacts rather than repairing damage after it occurs. Since the mid-1990s, the protection of the climate and natural resources has held a special significance for us. The guesthouse and restaurant were equipped with a solar system to support heating, and several large photovoltaic installations provide environmentally friendly energy. A milestone followed in 2020 with the construction of our new, innovative, and energy-efficient brewery – saving us over 40% in energy! In 2025, our commitment to climate and environmental protection was honoured by the Bamberg District Office with the Climate Protection Award. We were also awarded the 2025 Future Prize by the Chamber of Crafts of Upper Franconia in the category “Energy-efficient & sustainable Craftsmanship.”
Solar Beer Brewery
In 2011, Kundmüller Brewery was recognised as a Solarbier® brewery. The protected Solarbier® brand guarantees that ALL Weiherer classic beers as well as the three alcohol-free beers “Weiherer Hell Alkoholfrei,” “Weiherer Zwickerla Alkoholfrei,” and “Weiherer Weizen Alkoholfrei” are produced exclusively using renewable energy. At the same time, the use of environmentally and climate-damaging fossil primary energy sources (heating oil, natural gas, coal) and nuclear power is entirely avoided. The energy-efficient and ecological process is continuously monitored by the Technical University of Munich in Weihenstephan as an independent certification body. By purchasing and enjoying beers from the Weiherer product range, consumers actively contribute to the preservation of our planet.
