When you master something, you are tempted to put a stop to it and stop learning. You have achieved what you wanted and there is no reason to continue to try harder than necessary. The proverbial saying goes that someone in this state is resting on their laurels. In the beer scene we observe different approaches to this. Some long-established breweries rely on their award-winning brews, which have been produced in the company for centuries. Others, on the other hand, release a new beer almost every week, even though they have already developed a number of creations on whose success they could rest. In order to stay on the ball in our fast-moving times and not lose relevance, most breweries have to work close to the spirit of the times and constantly develop.
One company that fulfills this obligation with joy and enthusiasm is the Püttner Brewery. Although the beers have enjoyed a good reputation since the beginning of the company's history, the team strives to always bring new creations onto the market and always get a little better. Their range includes almost a dozen beers that are brewed by hand and, in addition to the purest spring water from the brewery's own well, contain hops from Spalt and Hallertau and grain from the region. In addition to the flexible core range, there are always new seasonal specialties that are made for special occasions and to celebrate spring. The brewery produces all the classics of Bavarian brewing and, in addition to the beers, also offers schnapps and whiskey from its own distillery as well as exquisite lemonades.
The brewery was founded in 1819. At that time it was brewed on behalf of Baron von Hirschberg. The Püttner family came into possession of the brewery in 1862 and still owns it today. Over time, the Püttners expanded the brewery structurally, carried out renovations and modernizations and brought the brewhouse up to date with the latest technology. In order to provide its customers with more than just beer, the brewery opened a tavern and a hotel. With the emergence of the craft beer movement, a breath of fresh air blew through the brewery: the team took the first steps and released a delicious red ale. Today there are always modern brewing items in the range and the brewers combine traditional brewing traditions with young ideas and new raw materials. The family has preserved a piece of beer history with their Zoigl . This traditional beer is a testament to the long brewery history and is one of the most popular creations from Püttner.
