Brunnen Brew Haus is a craft beer brewery with in-house production located in the center of Villa General Belgrano, one of the most visited tourist destinations in the province of Córdoba. Situated at Av. Julio A. Roca Nº 73, near the corner of 25 de Mayo, the brewery combines artisanal production with German technology and a gastronomic space where visitors can taste its products.
The name Brunnen comes from German and means "cistern""well," referring to a historic well preserved in the inner courtyard of the premises. The building itself carries its own history: once known as the Posada del Sauce, it served as a rest stop for travelers on the road between Río Cuarto and Alta Gracia, and later operated as a school before becoming the brewery complex it is today.
