FLECKS is not only a manufacturer of brewing plants worldwide, but also operates a unique demonstration brewery with several brewing facilities on a 1000 m² large building area.
Your visit to the FLECKS show brewery is definitely worth the trip. It is our intention to give you an insight into the operating process of two FLECKS Brewhouses (5HL and 40HL) - including all the trimmings - to show you what can be done with our technology.

“LAVA Bräu” is brewed by hand in small exclusive quantities. During the brewing process only about 500 litres of refined wort are fermented to finest Craft Beer. LAVA is boiled with selected spices and tastes extraordinary full-bodied. It is neither filtered nor sterilized. Thus all essential flavours, that give the beer a unique taste, are preserved. “LAVA Bräu” has declared to endeavour, to preserve the living fire of the volcanic region in its beers and does a pretty good job at it, as we think.

“Stade Ratskeller”, located in Germany, serves home-brewed beer, selected wines and delicious traditional cooking. You can enjoy these various home made products in the restaurant’s cosy dining halls, or in its beautiful “beer gardens”, that invite to relax during warm summer days.

This location offers some unique culinary experiences. We recommend trying the signature dish: grilled free range chicken or “Haxenbraterei” which is basically a combination of various grilled meats and vegetables - Perfect for anyone with a big appetite. The homemade drinks currently range from bright red and light to dark Craft Beers, that all harmonize perfectly with the carefully complied menu.

This special brewery, which is located in Groede, a unique part of the Netherlands, was installed in 2007 and has since been operating under the name of “The Three Kings”. The history behind this location is quite an exciting one. In 2011, the managers at the time had to stop their activities, due to private matters. For about a year “The Three Kings” stood empty until In May 2012, looking for the ideal location to give their ideas about beer shape, Stijn Jordans and Marc Menue took over the brewery. As of May 2012, the brewery was renamed to MARCKENSTEIJN. To this day the location brings forth some extraordinary Craft Beers that are definitely worth trying.

Therefore when visiting this place, we recommend trying the house specialty: charcoal grilled free range chicken. Additionally the restaurant also offers three kinds of homemade craft beer, produced by a 300 litre FLECKS system. The BIERFABRIEK focuses on brewing special beers in small quantities. PUUR is an unfiltered and unpasteurized pilsner and thus richer in flavour than most of its kind. The ruby red ROSSO is a smooth and malty beer, characterized by some sweetness. NERO is a dark beer Porter that is made from a blend of 5 different malts. The end result is a dark, but not yet black, beer with a little bite.

One of the already finished buildings of the ambitious project stands out particularly prominent.

What started in 2011 with a 300 litre FLECKS brewing system, quickly had to be upgraded to a fully automated 1000 litre brewery in 2014, due to increasing customer demands.

In January 2016 we took part in the 60th edition of “Horecava”, the largest national trade fair for professionals in the foodservice industry, in Amsterdam. In cooperation with the restaurant chain “Bierfabriek” we designed a pop up brewery and restaurant for visitors of the fair. It consisted of FLECKS brewing boilers (300 litres), a fermentation tank (500 litres) and lower tanks for secondary fermentation. The purpose was to give an insight into the process of brewing beer by not only showing our technology, but also producing beer right in front of visitors.
The “Bierfabriek” also uses our brewhouses in its regular business activity and produces three different types of beer.

At JOHANNISHUS GODS in Sweden the new brewery ( a Flecks Brauhaus 500 ) started in September 2018.

Hans Wachtmeister is the brewer himself.

Hallenberg setzt seine jahrhundertelange Brautradition fort: Braumeister Peter Mesters braut schon fleißig Bier mit der Dekoktionsbrauanlage. Quasi ein Bier wie man es früher gebraut hat. Die Eröffnung ist für Juni 2018 geplant.

Aviators Brewing Co. – die Fliegerei-Brauerei in Südafrika – ist die erste FLECKS Brauerei mit eigenem Hubschrauberlandeplatz. Hier, am Rande der Magaliesberge mit ihren eindrucksvollen Naturschutzgebieten, unweit von Johannesburg, wollte Jan Botma die Liebe zur Luftfahrt mit seiner Leidenschaft für Bier verbinden. Weil ihm dafür eine Bierbar nicht genug war, flog er auf der Suche nach einer geeigneten Brautechnologie über den Äquator, um selbst brauen zu können. Bei uns wurde er fündig: Mittlerweile stellt er mit der steirischen FLECKS Brautechnik außergewöhnliche Biere her und erfüllte sich so einen Lebenstraum.
