Bayreuther Brewery

It was 1857 when the 24-year-old brewer Hugo Bayerlein returned from Munich to his hometown Bayreuth. He had gained his first brewing experience in Southern Bavaria and wanted to set up his own brewery at home and create beer there according to his personal taste. On the Duke, the hill west of the Red Main, he bought some land, applied for the construction of malting, brewing and cooling house and home and began to brew beer. This form of brewery was unusual at that time, because actually every baker and restaurateur brewed his own beer. Thanks to modern technology and excellent cooling and storage facilities in the cellars under the brewery, the beer from the Bayreuth brewery convinced the customers very quickly.
