Finissage, Beer tasting for the exhibition "The Kemptener holds its beer sacred"

November 2022

Medieval documents tell of a flourishing brewing industry in Kempten. The first brewery was built in 1417 by the Frauenwirt with the "Brauerei zur Gans" in Gerberstraße. In the following centuries, more than 20 brew kettles were regularly fired up in the city. The Kemptner obviously held his beer sacred. Martin Simon, Matthias Sienz and Ralf Lienert, together with gallery owner Birgit Kastner-Simon, dove deep into Kempten's history and presented a selected collection of historical photos and memorabilia.
