    Forst Brewery
    The Forst brewery was founded in 1857 by the then town clerk of Merano, Franz Tappeiner, and the farmer Johann Wallnöfer. In 1863 the company was taken over by Josef Fuchs, who pushed ahead with the expansion of the brewery at its current location. The Fuchs-von Mannstein family is the fourth generation to run the company.
    The Forst AG brewery (full name Forst special beer brewery, formerly Forsterbräu; in Italian, Birra Forst S.p.A.) is the largest brewery in South Tyrol. It is located in the Algunder fraction of Forst near Merano. A bottling plant is operated in Palermo to enable delivery to Sicily. With an annual production of 700,000 hectoliters, production is at the top of the regional league table. The company includes the mineral water distributors “Meraner Mineralwasser” and “Kaiserwasser” as well as eight Forsterbräus, which are located in the most important localities in South Tyrol. Further forest breweries are run in Trento and Trieste.

      The history of the specialty beer brewery FORST
      The FORST specialty beer brewery was founded in 1857 by two Meran entrepreneurs in Forst/Algund near Meran. After more than 160 years, the company is still at the same location, which already had excellent properties at that time: then as now, excellent spring water from the mountain springs, ideal conditions for natural ice storage in winter, which was used in summer for cooling in the rock cellars and a good road network.
      Over the generations, the company has developed into one of the most important independent family businesses in the beer industry, which still produces high-quality beer specialties today.
      Margherita Fuchs von Mannstein, together with her two daughters, is the fifth generation of the family to manage the fortunes of the company and continue to pursue the company's vision: puristic art of brewing, high-quality products in harmony with nature, closeness and long-term customer loyalty, strong social responsibility as well as Attachment to the territory are the basis of creating a company with strong local roots.

        It is difficult to park the bike safely at the forest brewery.
