In 1987, Klaus Peter Vetter founded his brewery in the famous Steingasse of Heidelberg – a restaurant in the middle of the old town, located in a short distance from the „Old Bridge“. The project of the own brewery had begun with a private passion: traveling to the traditional beer breweries and the enjoyment of Bavarian hospitality. An example of the young company was therefore the famous Andechs monastery, the Munich Oktoberfest and many special features from small Bavarian brewery farms.

The whole family Vetter was mobilized, built and designed the rustic guest-room. together. However, the centerpiece of all the campaigns was the brewhouse, which was 10 hectoliters in length, and the legendary Kaspar Schulz from Bamberg built it. In October 1987 the first Heidelberg brewery was finally opened under the name Vetter’s Alt Heidelberger Brauhaus.

The ever-increasing international tourism brings more and more visitors to historic Heidelberg, whose individual or organized program is often visited by the cozy brewery. Vetter’s Braumeister Eric Rosen is already part of the brewery’s inventory: he takes care of the production of our beers and the fact that everything is handmade.
