The brewery in Loifling, Upper Palatinate, has existed for more than 430 years. The beer from there has been known under the name Hofmark since the 1960s. The long-established family brewery has made the leap into the present with state-of-the-art brewing technology, first-class ingredients and master brewers who not only bring 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 water on site is not of 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 layer of granite 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 “Protected Geographical Location — Bavarian Beer” quality seal. Some of the brewery's beers even carry the organic seal thanks to the 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 in accordance with the strict specifications of the Bavarian Purity Law. In addition to state-of-the-art brewing equipment, the traditional copper brewing kettles can still be found and are evidence of the fact that Hofmark values both traditional craftsmanship and innovation. With a lot of time and peace, local beers are created in the hallowed halls of the Loiflingen brewery that 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. A favorite in the brewery's offering, for example, is the Hofmark Braumeister Zwickl : the traditional beer completely impressed the judges at the World Beer Awards 2018 and won a gold medal in this renowned competition. And the other beers have already received awards. Rightly so, we think - what do you say?
