Description
Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG is a formerly listed brewery in the Upper Franconian town of Bayreuth. Hugo Bayerlein (b. 1833) came back from Munich to his hometown Bayreuth as a 24-year-old brewer. There he began in 1857 on the Duke, a hill west of the Red Main, in the - for that time - great style beer to brew. At that time, pre-industrial brewing was still reserved for the classic trades of bakers and restaurateurs. Between 1857 and 1858 emerged on the Duke widely visible industrial buildings: malt house with Darre, brewery with water pump, piping, brewing pan, Vorwärmpfanne, beer pumps, mash tun and beer pans, a cold store with underneath fermenting cellar, a house for the elevator to the rock cellars, a stable building and a barrel counter. The buildings are still largely preserved and used. Friedrich von Feustel, including a patron of Richard Wagner, converted the brewery in 1872 into a public limited company. Today, the majority of the society is owned by the Maisel GmbH family
