Like many Bavarian breweries, Lauterbacher also looks back on a long-standing brewing history: The Augsburg brewery was founded in 1651, but boasts a completely different date.
1889 was a magical year for the brewery, which was already more than 200 years old. After it all started with the brewer Mathias Puecher, the brewery grew and flourished until the 19th century, at the end of which the brewers achieved a real coup: they brewed the very first wheat beer in Bavarian Swabia. Even back then, brewing rights were strictly regulated and not every brewery could simply make the beer they wanted. Only state breweries were allowed to produce wheat beer, so small, private breweries had to resort to other styles. This meant, among other things, that the hustle and bustle surrounding wheat had almost disappeared when it was finally released to all breweries. The initial excitement surrounding the new beer had subsided and people were thirsty for the next big hit. However, this turned out not to be a new style, but rather a wheat beer from Lauterbacher. The brewery put its own stamp on wheat beer and gave the style, which was slowly being forgotten, a tasty renaissance.
The news of the good Lauterbach wheat spread like wildfire and brought the brewery fame that reached far beyond the borders of Bavarian Swabia. With dedication, brewing art, passion and the best ingredients, the brewers brought the wheat out of obscurity and made their brewery famous. To this day, the team relies on these principles. Raw materials of the best quality form the basis for all beer specialties: the water is drawn from the brewery's own deep well, hops and grain grow in the region's sunny fields and the yeast also comes from the brewery's own premises. The Lauterbacher Landmann is a symbol of taste and quality: the hearty guy on the labels goes back to the beer connoisseur and gourmet Hans Dengler. The regular guest in the pub not far from the brewery was known for his fine tongue and high standards. The Bavarian also had a reputation for being hard-working, down-to-earth and close to nature - everything a good beer should be. The Lauterbacher Landmann was appointed guardian of quality and taste and his memory still ensures that the beers from Lauterbacher are Bavarian, natural and down-to-earth.
