(Erskine) ..The Prösslbräu is a brewery Gasthaus that draws a large German crowd with very few Americans. The Inn is located 5 miles W of Regensburg about ½ mile N of B8. The rooms are modest but fully equipped. The food is traditional German & the beer (made on premises) is some of the best in Deutschland. The Inn is only minutes from Regensberg and 1¼ hours from the Munich airport.

The brewery was formerly operated by Dominikan monks. The monastery grounds included a church for the local people. About 170 years ago the local government declared that the monks must divest their brewery from the monastery. The Prössl family bought the brewery and agreed to keep the church maintained for the locals. This agreement satisfied the local government and the Prösslbräu was born. So today the church and brewery stand side by side inside the walled permises. The Prössl family built a gasthaus and later added about 20 lodging rooms.

The Prössl is a big favorite with people in the Regensberg area and in April 2000, the Prössl family celebrated an expansion of their facilities by having a big party. They set up tents on the grounds and the people came (all 7,500 came for bier and food). We were there a few weeks after the celebration and again last October. We've been going to the Prössl for ten years. Great beer, food, service and fun...

(Ben - 2002) ...We arrived at the Prösslbräu around lunchtime, found a nice outside table (finally a bit of sunshine) and quickly discovered one of the reasons why Erskine recommends this place so highly - the Bier - 'Es war Hervorragende'.

For lunch we had -
Niederbayerischer Krustenbraten in Dunkelbiersauce mit Semmelknödel und Sauerkraut - (7.60 €)
Putensteak in Pfefferrahn mit Pommes Frites und Salat - (7.60 €)
Kinderschnitzel mit Pommes Frites - (5.80 €)

I asked a waitress if the owner was available and in short order Herr Prössl is sitting at our table and we are discussing his brewery and our mutual friend - Erskine. Our appetite sated and our thirst quenched we decide to head back in the direction of the Altmühltal, but not before Herr Prössl presents us with two nice Prösslbräu mugs. A very friendly and interesting gentleman and we enjoyed spending some time with him.
