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.
Schedule:
5:30 pm Arrival, aperitif with small nibbles
From 6:30 pm “Tavolata Fredda” – all-you-can-eat buffet
after “Tavolata Calda” – all-you-can-eat buffet
To round things off “Dolce” – dessert buffet

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.

Yippee!!!
A lovely, family-friendly event with market stalls, food, and fire pits. It’s nice to ring in the christmas season and find beautiful gifts from the neighborhood.
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.
