The brewery in Loifling in Upper Palatinate has been in existence for more than 430 years. Since the 1960s, the beer from there has been known under the name Hofmark. The long-established family brewery has made the leap into the present with the latest brewing technology, first-class ingredients and master brewers who bring not only craftsmanship and tradition, but also innovative ideas, young beer styles and a breath of fresh air.
The basis for every beer and the soul of the barley juice is the brewing water. Many breweries have to make compromises with their brewing water because the local water does not have the right hardness. The water has to be adjusted using chemical processes before it can even be used for brewing. Not so at Hofmark: Loifling's groundwater is filtered through a massive granite layer in the ground and is characterized by a wonderful softness. It is the perfect basis for first-class beer and the remaining raw materials are also selected with great care. Malt, hops and yeast come from regional farmers in Bavaria. This has several advantages: all ingredients are as fresh as possible and transport routes are short. The brewery supports the local economy and people and proudly bears the quality seal "Protected Geographical Location - Bavarian Beer". Some of the brewery's beers even bear the organic seal thanks to their raw materials grown in controlled organic farming. With this step, the Hofmark brewery has been supporting its Bavarian homeland and nature in the Upper Palatinate for 30 years now.
Hofmark's award-winning beers are made from these hand-picked ingredients and according to the strict specifications of the Bavarian Purity Law. In addition to ultra-modern brewing facilities, the traditional copper brewing kettles can still be found and are evidence that Hofmark places value on both traditional craftsmanship and innovation. With plenty of time and peace and quiet, beers with a strong sense of home are created in the hallowed halls of the Loiflinger brewery, which tell of the endless expanse and untouched nature of the Bavarian Forest. The range includes a colorful mix of different types of beer. The brewers master Bavarian classics as well as young craft beer and unusual specialty beers. One favorite in the brewery's range is the Hofmark Braumeister Zwickl , for example: the traditional beer completely wowed the judges at the World Beer Awards 2018 and won a gold medal in this renowned competition. And the other beers have also already received awards. Rightly so, we think - what do you say?
