Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG

The Bavarian city of Bayreuth has a lot to offer: every year the world-famous Bayreuth Festival takes place in the Festival Hall, the Hermitage attracts tourists from near and far, and the Old Castle is a great place to stroll. In addition to these undoubtedly attractive attractions, there is something that excites us as beer fans even more. Beer.

A Bayreuth native with vision

One of our favorite breweries in Bayreuth is Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG. The traditional brewery dates back to a brave decision by the then 24-year-old Hugo Bayerlein. After the young brewer had left his home for a while to expand his knowledge, he returned with fresh ideas and a plan. He bought some land on a hill and applied to build a brewery with an attached malt house and residential building. At that time, brewing was even more widespread than it is today and building a brewery was rather unusual given the bakers and innkeepers who brewed. But that didn't stop Hugo from his ambitious plans. After the building was completed, the brewer began his craft and soon made a name for himself in the region with his excellent beer. Even the later sale and conversion into a stock corporation could not interrupt his streak of luck. With great enthusiasm, the people of Bayreuth bought shares in their city brewery and enabled it to be expanded extensively. In 1965, the Maisel family secured a large portion of the shares and a cooperation was formed between Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG and the Maisel brewery. The geographical proximity between the two breweries made joint projects child's play and also enabled two breweries to benefit from modernizations and expansions. This is still the case today, as both breweries are independent but work closely together.

A Bayreuth heart project

In addition to good cooperation, what is also important to the team from Bayreuther Bierbrauerei and Maisel is their Franconian homeland. Bavaria and Franconia are characterized by a rich culture of enjoyment and beer is a large part of this culinary cultural treasure. Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG is proud of its traditional roots and contributes to spreading Franconian joie de vivre with passion and excellent beer. The raw materials for Bayreuther Hell and Hefeweissbier are hand-picked and come from the region. The brewers are in close contact with farmers and suppliers, and transparency from the raw materials to the end product is very important to the people of Bayreuth. To this day, Bayreuther Bierbrauerei is a matter close to the hearts of the citizens of Bayreuth, who have a stake in the brewery through their shares and the good beer.

If you are not a fan of the stock market, you can simply get your piece of Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG in the form of a bottle of beer or two.
