It’s quiz time again.
We’re playing the legendary Hitster Quiz at the Krone Forch. Host Dirk will get you in the mood for some trivia. Who knows the song, the artist and perhaps even the year it was released?
Look forward to a fun-filled evening with great music, a challenge and delicious beer.
It starts at 7.30 pm. The kitchen will be open until then.
Feel free to book your place.

Our inn is turning into a ‘Weinhof’.
Together with Sandro Furnari and Sabine Williams from Forch, we’re organising an authentic wine evening for you. Come and sample a select range of their wines from Austria and South Africa. These will be accompanied by Austrian ‘Schmankerl’ (delicacies) such as spreads, a sausage and cheese platter, etc., along with a traditional South African boerewors. The wine merchants Nadja and Carina from bauerzehnbauer.ch will also be there to offer you expert advice.
It’s practically a must for all wine lovers :)!
Price: CHF 44.– per person, excluding drinks

We love nature, wood and fire and we aim to brew authentically, with as little technical aid as possible.
All our beers are brewed on a fully analogue, woodfire powered Brewhouse installed in a Trailer.
Thanks to the traditional, simple brewing, every step towards the finished beer can be experienced.
the brewery
Just like in ancient times, we use fire as the only heat source for our Forchbeer. We use two antique, traditional washing ports. But instead of cleaning dirty laundry, they live a second life as brewhouse. This setup is unique in Switzerland.
On top of that we have installed the entire brewing setup into a mobile Trailer. This enables us to brew everywhere. The only requirements are a power and a water hookup. Let’s open the side hatch and get started.
