Description

A tradition of brewing from Erding Bavaria and its breweries. The duke city of Erding has proven to be a city of beer for centuries, as a verse shows, which is said to have been known as early as 1665: Traunstein and Aerding Vilshofen and Schärding in Bavaria are the four places where you can drink the best beer. In 1691, six brewers were given the right to brew and serve their beer in the municipal brewery. The roots of Fischer's Stiftungsbräu also go as far as this point: In the course of the 18th century, the "Reschbräu", one of the original six, developed from a beer-brewing innkeeper to a brewery owner. He starts brewing beer on his own estate. Business is going well and business is growing. In 1838, Joseph Fischer, brewer, restaurant owner and post office owner bought the brewery and the associated tavern: The “Resch-” became the “Postbräu”, which remained a success. The son, Friedrich Fischer, also learned to be a master brewer and continued his father's business from 1856. In private, however, he and his wife Katharina have to endure fatalities: their children die, a successor is missing. Therefore, the couple, who have always been charitable, decide to set up a foundation. In 1891, a year after Friedrich Fischer's death, the Fischer's Charitable Foundation began its work. Land and above all the successful brewery of the Fischer family form the basis for the social works. Under the new name "Fischer's Stiftungsbräu", the annual output is initially 10,000 hectoliters. Continuous modernization, such as the electrification of the company in 1892, a new brewhouse in 1930 or the expansion of the fermentation cellar in 1963, ensured the yield until the 1980s. Then the changes on the German beer market take their toll and the business can no longer be maintained in its usual form. To secure centuries-old art of brewing in the beer town of Erding, Werner Brombach, owner of the medium-sized private brewery ERDINGER Weißbräu, acquired the brewery in 1991.
