The plant is massive and while we didn't get to take any pictures of the production facility I did take some pictures of the early generation fillers in the museum.
They also make labelers which go well with their bottling lines (no surprise there).
A small automatic filler. There are eight filler heads on that filler, whereas today they are making fillers with upwards of 200 filler heads.
That is the top of the filler at Schneider as an example of how big they are today. I think this one was a 172 filler head from Krones.
Next stop was the Bischofshof Brewery which had a lot of the toys from Steineker and Krones on show! To tour the manufacturing plants then go see the products in use at the brewery gave us a chance to see how it all falls into place.
Mash vessels and mash cooker at Bischofshof. All of the brewing vessels were produced by Steineker.
The rest of the brewhouse.
To all the beer nerds, ya thats a Pegasus and ya its sexy.
Ohh and they had a robot arm depalletizing kegs. This thing was awesome! If I can figure out how to upload video onto the ipad, I will share the video I have of this thing.
After beer and ham loaf at Bischofshof we headed to Bamburg, home of the famed smoked beers for a birthday dinner and night of drinking. A shot of the boys, sans Viet who took the picture. While it was my birthday, the festive nature of Bamburg on a Tuesday night was probably concentrated with this group. A long day in Bamburg awaited on Wednesday so we kicked it pretty early.
There you go Viet. I must say that 26 couldn't have started out better and I shared it with some awesome brewing guys. Thanks for all the birthday wishes from back home!
