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 :)!

An Italian-style feast with a Sicilian twist
Following the first sold-out Tavolata, there will be a follow-up event.
We invite you to enjoy cosiness, culinary delights and good company at the Krone Forch. Giovanni will conjure up wonderful specialities from Italy and his southern Italian homeland for you. There’s a rich selection of meat and vegetarian options. Everyone helps themselves at the buffet and enjoys the evening together at our Tavolata. To go with it, we have a fitting selection of beer, wine and other drinks ready for you. All you need to bring is a good portion of time and appetite.

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.
