Middle Franconia is not least known as "Beer Franconia" and is therefore sustainably shaped by the sandstone brewery inns in the Nuremberg region, by the cellar facilities on the Erlangen Castle Hill, and by the impressive hop roofs in the Spalt area. Where is the crispiest Schäufele served? Why do the Aischgrund carp usually have a little flag? And does it always have to be "Three in a Bun," or can it also be five of the world-famous bratwurst? This book answers these questions and takes the reader on a journey through the historical tavern landscape of Middle Franconia.
