Breweries
In earlier times, brewing was only done in the cold months because the beer was not so durable in summer. In Pegnitz in 1728 an agreement was made and in 1852 it was precisely defined that during the summer months, as a rule, the right to pour beer changes from week to week Flinderer called. Today we alternate weekly, from Tuesday after Easter to June, in various Pegnitz restaurants. The exact dates can be found on the city's website.
