The brewery predates 1405 when it was first mentioned by name as the 'House of the Blue Lion'. Through the centuries, coopers and brewers have occupied the premises. Barrels and beer are often found together. Since 1866, the business has been in the Trum family. Currently, the sixth generation is in charge. The beer at Schlenkerla - Smoked Beer Brewery is made according tradition, begun when long winters necessitated drying the grains for the beers over an open fire. The brewery is open year round but the beer garden is open from Easter to October only, weather permitting. Brunch and hot meals are served and there is a shop selling beer and memorabilia.
