Landskron has over 150 years of brewing history in Görlitz. Join us on a guided tour to see how a traditional brewery with an open fermentation process works. After the tour, you are cordially invited to a small tasting session. Landskron currently produces 13 types of beer and lemonade. There should be something for everyone.
You don't drink alcohol and are wondering whether the tour is worthwhile for you? Sure, it's all about the art of brewing and the history of the brewery. And during the tasting afterwards, you can also drink draught beer or other non-alcoholic drinks.
As the tour is quite expensive and we want to enable as many students as possible to take part, you have to pay a co-payment of €8. Compared to the €18 regular entrance fee, however, this is a real bargain...
