Kulmbach

Kulmbach is a short hop from Bamberg. The beer from the Kulmbacher brewery here is available over quite a wide area, including Munich, but is very much in the style of the rest of Bavaria rather than Franconia.
The town features a castle on top of a hill, Plassenburg. From here you can get some views of the town.

There is a speciality beer restaurant in town suitably kitted out...

Their beer of the day was a local Kellerbier...

As smooth and easy drinking as Kellerbier always is.
