Heinzelmannchen Brewery (Heinzelmännchen)

In a microbrewery in downtown Sylva, NC, German-born brewermaster Dieter Kuhn and his wife Sheryl Rudd are creating light and refreshing German beer made with wholesome grains, fresh hops & no preservatives. All beers are keg conditioned and non-filtered, making them smooth and lighter in body. Stop by the brewery for a tasting and a tour. Take home one of our unique, German 2-liter growlers, or a keg. And enjoy our ales by the glass at area restaurants. Dieter Kuhn, Certified Brewmeister, was born and raised in Heidelsheim near the Black Forest of Germany. As a little boy he was sent to the local brauhouse to pick up the week’s worth of beer for his family. He also grew up with an uncle who malted grain for beer, so the desire for wholesome, fresh ales was instilled in Dieter very early. Dieter and his wife Sheryl Rudd opened Heinzelmännchen Brewery in 2004 in tiny Sylva, North Carolina, an old-fashioned mountain town an hour west of Asheville. They focus solely on providing ales for take-home growler glass containers or kegs. While not a brewpub, the brewery is close to a variety of restaurants that serve their beers on tap.
