Lucerne
«Rathaus beer»

with Pilatus spring water

In our restaurant, you go to a «beer from here» brewed with Pilatus spring water from the oldest fountain network of the city of Lucerne. In 1873, the comrades-corporation Hergiswil granted Lucerne City Council the right to seize spring water in the Hergiswil Alps and divert it to the city of Lucerne.

Reinhard Knispel has been brewing the well-known Lucerne «Rathaus Beer» since the Rathaus Brauerei was founded in 1998 – right on the popular promenade on the arcade floor of Lucerne town hall. As an unfiltered beer, «Rathaus beer» belongs to the naturally cloudy group of beers, also known as «Zwickelbier» or «Kellerbier». Want some more hops? Depending on the season, we brew special beers like for example a wheat beer, a Christmas beer or a March beer. Ask our staff for more information about the current special beer.

Cheers!
