Brauhaus Zwiebel

About

Located in the heart of Soest, Brauhaus Zwiebel is the town’s only historic brewery that has been brewing home‑made beer for over 400 years. Nestled behind the Paulikirche in a timber‑framed building protected as a monument, the brewery invites guests to experience the traditions of South‑West German brewing in a warm, rustic setting. Guests can dive into the brewing process with guided tours, which include a tasting of two complimentary barrels of local beer and a concise 60‑minute walk through the malting, fermentation and storage areas. The tours run daily from 10 AM to 8 PM and cost €14.90 per person—an affordable price for beer lovers and history enthusiasts alike. When not touring, diners can enjoy a diverse menu of hearty German cuisine, from juicy steaks and fresh salads to traditional dumplings and local sausages, all served in the restaurant, the historic Pils bar, or the airy Wintergarten. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and for events, though the brewery also welcomes walk‑ins. With free Wi‑Fi, open‑air terrace, and a friendly atmosphere, Brauhaus Zwiebel offers a quintessential Soest experience for locals and visitors alike. Whether you arrive to taste a glass of classic Hofbräu, attend a birthday celebration, or simply soak up the historic ambience, this landmark brewery is a must‑visit destination in northwest Germany.
