La vita è piena di esperienze. Molte ci formano. E alcune rendono davvero orgogliosi. Da oltre 150 anni, il Birrificio Kundmüller rappresenta specialità birrarie della regione di Bamberga ed è considerato uno dei birrifici più premiati della Germania. Nel 2025 è stato nominato “Birrificio dell’Anno” al concorso Finest Beer Selection. Inoltre, 33 medaglie all’European Beer Star, oltre 70 medaglie ai World Beer Awards e 6 medaglie al più grande concorso birrario del mondo, il World Beer Cup, testimoniano la qualità delle birre Weiherer. Nel 2025 la Weiherer Rauch è stata incoronata campionessa del mondo con la medaglia d’oro al World Beer Cup, mentre nel 2024 la Weiherer Kräusen Hell è stata premiata come “Miglior Kellerbier” nello stesso concorso. La Weiherer / Cervejaria Bamberg Zapfenduster ha ottenuto il titolo mondiale due volte di seguito ai World Beer Awards nel 2024 e 2025 (“Miglior Stout & Porter del mondo” / “Miglior Stout del mondo”) e nel 2023 la Weiherer Pils ha vinto il titolo mondiale in questo concorso. Anche la sostenibilità gioca un ruolo importante, come sottolineato dalla vittoria del Future Award all’European Beer Star nel 2022. Inoltre, il Birrificio Kundmüller ha ricevuto nel 2025 il Premio Futuro della Camera dell’Artigianato dell’Alta Franconia nella categoria “Artigianato energeticamente efficiente e sostenibile”. Anche la città e il distretto di Bamberga hanno premiato l’impegno del birrificio per la protezione del clima e dell’ambiente con il Premio per la Protezione del Clima 2025 per il progetto "Trasformazione sostenibile di un birrificio tradizionale a conduzione familiare“. Nel 2025 il Ministero Bavarese per l’Economia, lo Sviluppo Regionale e l’Energia ha assegnato l’Exportpreis Bayerninsieme alla Camera Bavarese dell’Industria e del Commercio all’Associazione delle Camere di Artigianato Bavaresi e in collaborazione con Bayern International. Questo premio riconosce le piccole e medie imprese che operano con successo nei mercati esteri e che affrontano in modo esemplare le sfide della nostra realtà globalizzata. Tutti questi premi rappresentano esperienze significative per la famiglia Kundmüller — e li rendono molto orgogliosi!
I criteri dei concorsi birrari
Nelle degustazioni alla cieca di tutti i concorsi e premi birrari citati, i criteri valutati sono colore, aroma, schiuma e naturalmente il gusto — caratteristiche che ogni amante della birra può facilmente riconoscere.
