Description
Ottmar Schreyegg's brewery in Stegen existed until 1923. Ottmar Schreyegg's success began with a process. The master brewer of the Toerring brewery in Seefeld hadn't taken the purity law very seriously. There were numerous complaints about the inedible beer and the dish could not avoid 900 hl. of the obviously adulterated brew. Schreyegg was punished and then put out by Count Toerring. Ottmar Schreyegg, by the court judgment by no means a broken man wanted to continue to delight mankind with his beer. He quickly went into business for himself. He leased a restaurant in Stegen, which is still called Schreyegg, and built a small brewery there. A malt house was added in 1881. With the choice of location, O. Schreyegg showed a good nose: Soon his company's capacity was no longer sufficient, because on nice days thousands of local people flocked from Munich to the small town on the north shore of Lake Ammer. They came with the steamers, which had been operating regularly on the lake and on the Amper since 1879. Ottmar Schreyegg could only be right, and there was no longer any question of the earlier trial. The building with summer cellar is a "stately building, which aroused general admiration both for its size and beauty, as well as for its splendid location, which dominates the lake and the Amper valley", as the country messenger reported at the time. The end of O. Schreyegg's beer brewery came with inflation in 1923. It was closed and leased to the Munich hacker brewery. The last brew was brewed in 1974, after which the brewery was used as a depot for a short time. The former brewery was bought by Paul Schneider in 1993 and has since been lovingly rebuilt and expanded. In late summer 2011, Rudolf Fottner started building a small brewery and brewery in the so-called 8-column cellar, which used to house the malting antenna. The Ammerseer Brauhaus in the old brewery in Stegen is built. Since the end of 2011, tasty, real Ammerseer beer has been produced here again.
