Löwenbräu Buttenheim

Löwenbräu Buttenheim is a small, family-run brewery and brewery inn (Brauerei Gasthof) based in Buttenheim, in the Franconian part of Bavaria, Germany. According to the French-language Wikipedia entry, the brewery was founded in 1880 and has remained a family business ever since. It is distinct from the much larger Munich Löwenbräu brand; the Buttenheim operation is a local Franconian brewery that shares the traditional lion name. The brewery produces eight of its own beer styles, brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) and sold both in bottles and in kegs. The range described in the source material includes a lager, a Helles, a Pils, the Bartholomäus Fest-Märzen, a light Zwickelbier, a Festbier and a Bock. This mix reflects the classic Franconian brewery repertoire: session lagers for everyday drinking alongside stronger, seasonal festival and bock beers. Beyond brewing, Löwenbräu Buttenheim operates as a hospitality business. Its official website presents a Brauerei Gasthof with a traditional Franconian kitchen serving local specialties, a modern guesthouse with single and double rooms, and a holiday apartment (Ferienwohnung) available for rent. The site also lists opening hours, a changing food menu (including a Sunday fish menu), and job openings, indicating an active, owner-operated establishment. The business is associated with the name Johann Modschiedler, which appears in the official website title, consistent with its identity as a family enterprise. It is privately held and not listed on any stock exchange. Its market is local and regional within Germany, centered on Buttenheim and the surrounding Franconian region, with beer sold on site and through listed points of sale (Bezugsquellen). As a brand, Löwenbräu Buttenheim represents the traditional Franconian combination of brewery, inn and guesthouse — a model in which the beer brand and the hospitality venue reinforce each other. Its identity rests on tradition, the Bavarian Purity Law, family ownership and a strong local connection rather than on national distribution or mass-market scale.

Its official website describes a Brauerei Gasthof — a brewery inn — with traditional Franconian cuisine, a modern guesthouse offering single and double rooms, and a holiday apartment for rent. This combination of brewery, restaurant and lodging is a classic Franconian model in which the beer brand and the inn sustain each other.
