This tower was named after the city brewer who lived there. As a city employee, he worked in the "Communbrauhaus" and brewed beer for the whole city. In the cellar of the tower there was room for one or two barrels. The tower itself once housed two so-called nymphs. It is said that this meant that it had two entrances: the man coming in didn't have to look the man going out in the face. A night with a girl was about as expensive as the price of the leather of a pair of shoes. That was quite a lot at the time.

The brewer's tower is also called the Neumeier tower after its owner, Jakob Neumeier, who lived in the tower from 1814-1827.

Berching, the gateway to the Altmühltal Nature Park, is located on the banks of the Main-Danube Canal and the historic Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal. In 1846, King Ludwig built the canal past Berching that was named after him and is still preserved today. Since 1992, Berching has been located directly on the Main-Danube Canal, the major European waterway that connects the North Sea with the Black Sea. The 500-year-old defensive wall with thirteen towers and four gates leads to a closed cityscape that is unique in Bavaria
