Every year, a special committee of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food names twelve German breweries as the best in the country. The Federal Honorary Prize is highly coveted and is one of the highest national awards that Germany's breweries can receive. The Engel beer factory from Crailsheim is one of the award-winning breweries and was named one of the twelve best breweries in Germany for the 9th time in 2021. A great honor that the brewers have earned with hard work, passion and their outstanding beers.
However, before the brewery could win awards, it first had to establish itself. The brewery was first mentioned undocumented in 1738, when the beer waste was still measured in buckets. The Fach family took over the Golden Angel almost 150 years later and brought the first steam engine with them. Technical progress continued until the brewery fell victim to the turbulence of the Second World War and was completely destroyed. With fresh courage and unbending passion, the Fach family emerges from the crisis and begins reconstruction at a new location. Over the following years, the brewery was continually updated with the latest technology and grew in proportion to the increasing demand for good beer. Before the brewery reached out to the wider world, it initially caused a small sensation in Germany: the Engel beer factory was the first brewery in the country to bottle and sell ready-mixed Radler. Since then, the beer manufacturer's good reputation has spread far beyond Germany's borders.
To this day, the Fach family is at the helm of the Engel Braumanufaktur and is leading the business into the future with enthusiasm and dedication. In addition to the outstanding quality of their beers, they also care about the region: the manufactory's traditional beer specialties are made from select raw materials. The south of Germany is built on fertile soil and is home to countless growing areas of the finest barley and aromatic hops. The Fach family maintains close personal contacts with their farmers and sources their hops and barley exclusively from the region. There has also recently been a collection of exclusive organic beers that are certified with the organic seal and are made from raw materials that are grown in controlled organic farming. The beer manufacturer's range includes a colorful mix of traditional beer styles, seasonal specialties and non-alcoholic variants.
