You see priorities! Nuremberg has also been an important city for brewing beer, whether light, dark or the traditional red. The beer is also a highlight due to the amazing historical rock cut cellars, cut up to four stories deep into the sandstone beneath Nuremberg. At the end of the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century, there were more than 40 breweries in Nuremberg for a population that totalled less than 30,000 people! It was deemed that anyone who wanted to brew beer and sell it would have to have their own cellar for fermentation and storing of beer. It\u2019s this medieval law that produced the labyrinth of cellars below the city. (It could also be said that \u201cbeer saved lives\u201d as these cellars were then used as air raid shelters during the bombing in WWII.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5071 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.challenge-family.com\/challenge-family\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2024\/05\/16-225x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5072\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5072 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.challenge-family.com\/challenge-family\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2024\/05\/15-200x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just checking the local beer was up to standard!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, at the end of our cellar tour, we were able to taste this famous beer itself.
