Biermanufaktur Engel
Angels really do exist. We love our name. Mainly because it fits us so well – Engel means “angel” in English. We are one of Germany’s most decorated breweries. There is a good reason for this success, it is the result of hard work, premium craftsmanship, best raw materials and practiced tradition.
Where do the award-winning Engel beers come from? From Crailsheim in the Hohenlohe-Franconia region of Southern Germany, an area shaped by nature: picturesque landscapes marked by river valleys, forests, meadows, forts and castles. Hohenlohe-Franconia has been officially recognised as an epicurean region with many authentic local products. We’re also known for our people, who stand behind their products with passion and craftsmanship. It’s no wonder the Engel beers come from this area.
