history

19th century - the early days

Sketch of aying with brewery

Johann Liebhard (1845–1910), the founding father of the Aying brewery, took over the agricultural and forestry business from his father Franz Liebhard in 1876. This property "Zum Pfleger" with a tavern with jug and hostel law and an attached butcher's shop had been in the family since around 1810. Together with his father, Liebhard made the decision to found a brewery in the good economic years after Germany's victory over France . He did this because of the increased demand for beer from the farms and farms around Aying with many beer-drinking servants and maidservants. The brewery in Sixthof von Aying , founded in 1873 by Anton Schuster, a neighbor, also played a role .

The founding of a brewery was not unusual at this time, as from 1876, thanks to the invention of the cooling machine by Carl von Linde, it was possible to produce bottom-fermented beer all year round, and the then restriction of brewing times to the colder season of Michaelmas, September 29, until Georgi lost its importance on April 23rd. The role of yeast cells in fermentation, discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1873, made the brewers ' work easier . Often “hops and malt were lost” if the spontaneous fermentation process at that time ended in a false fermentation and the wort obtained from the mash spoiled.

So Liebhard began building the Ayinger brewery in 1877 and built a brewhouse, a malt house, and fermentation and storage cellar behind the manor house. The former monastery tavern was expanded to a brewery inn with five hotel rooms. The required materials and equipment could be ordered by train and transported from the nearest train station in Sauerlach by horse and cart. Since Johann Liebhard himself was not a brewer, he employed Johann Radler as the first master brewer.

On February 2, 1878, Johann Liebhard was able to pour his first beer according to an entry in his diary. In the first few years there were already some inns in the vicinity of Aying such as B. in Egmating , Aschbach , Pframmern , Gauting , Brunnthal , Sauerlach , Markt Schwaben and Forstinning to the buyers of the brewery, as well as Liebhard's sister Barbara Steyrer, who had an inn in Keferloh and obtained the beer in large quantities from Aying, especially when it was beginning September the annual important cattle trading day took place in Keferloh.

In 1890, neighbor and competitor Anton Schuster, the brewery from Sixthof, died . His young son Kaspar was overwhelmed with the Sixthof and the brewery and the property was dissolved in 1895. The buildings were sold to different owners, with the farm going to a brewery owner in nearby Siegertsbrunn. Liebhard was able to buy Sixthof from Mathias Braun on October 30, 1897, making him the sole brewery in Aying.

20th century - wars, crises and bottled beer

Workers at the Liebhard brewery, 1906

Liebhard was open to technical progress and so in 1898, together with the mayor Michael Kometer and the municipality of Peiß, he supported the project of the local railway line to Munich. On March 2, 1900, the railway was approved. Liebhard's concept worked and so his request of September 15, 1901 to be allowed to open a "restaurant" at the Aying terminus was recognized. Likewise, in November 1901, the municipality of Peiß approved a request that Liebhard submitted together with Josef Biechl von Dürrnhaar to set up "cantines with full catering" during the construction of the local railway in the municipality of Peiß. This brought the brewery some additional output. On April 1, 1902, the construction of the railway began and on May 28, 1904, the first test drive took place. This was followed by another technical achievement on June 12, 1904, and the first private telephone connection was set up in Liebhard's house with a connection to the telegraph station in Aying.

Zehentmair era

Soon after the marriage of his eldest daughter Maria Liebhard to August Zehentmair (1880–1936) from Perlach on May 3, 1904, Johann Liebhard handed over the property in Aying to his daughter, as he had no male descendants. Johann Liebhard, the brewery's founding father, died in 1910 and his granddaughter Maria Kreszenz Zehentmair saw the light of day in 1911. In the same year, Aying was connected to the electricity grid.

The further development of the brewery was slowed down when the First World War broke out in 1914 and a difficult time began for the brewery, as the brewer August Zehentmair had to serve as a soldier for four years. Meanwhile, his wife Maria took care of the brewery tour and the three little daughters Maria Kreszenz (1911–2001), Kreszentia and Annie. Due to the difficult economic situation and the quota for grain, the Bavarian breweries were only allowed 35 percent of the usual malt quota from 1916 to 1917, which was further reduced to 15 percent in the following two war years. The original wort content of this so-called thin beer fell to 1.5 to 2 percent and had a correspondingly low alcohol content. August Zehentmair returned after the end of the war in 1918, but the brewery's situation remained poor due to the subsequent economic crisis and the poor financial situation of the most important beer consumers, the farmers.

In 1921 the “Jacklhaus”, a farm building belonging to the courtyard, burned down to the foundation walls. The Aying Brewery Inn, completed in 1923, was built in its place. From the mid-1920s onwards, the brewery's customers began to demand more and more bottled beer, so in 1926 the brewery built a bottle washing and filling facility and in 1927 the first Hansa-Lloyd brand beer trucks were purchased. This enabled the brewery's beer to be transported more gently, to greater distances and more quickly to the state capital of Munich. The brewery's customer base grew steadily.

With the purchase and closure of the castle brewery in neighboring Egmating by the Paulaner brewery in 1927, the output in Aying could be increased further. The fermentation cellar was expanded and a new cooling ship was built in 1928. Half of the total annual output of around 10,000 hectoliters was sold to Munich in 1929; a year later the output was already around 16,000 hectoliters.

Era island chamber

On September 5, 1932, the oldest daughter of the brewery Maria Kreszenz Zehentmair (1911–2001) and the estate and inn owner Franz Seraph Inselkammer (1902–1986) from Siegertsbrunn married . Their son Franz (* 1935) was born three years later . During the time of National Socialism , the brewery's previously good development was suddenly slowed down in the mid-1930s, as medium-sized breweries were imposed a limit on output and the delivery area was restricted.

The brewery August Zehentmair died surprisingly on March 5, 1936 at the age of 56, also without a male heir. At the request of his mother-in-law Maria Zehentmair, Inselkammer took over the management of the brewery and the associated taverns. He was helped by his wife and sister-in-law Annie Zehentmair, who became one of his closest and most trustworthy employees over the next 50 years. With the outbreak of the Second World War , the brewery's growth came to a standstill again due to quotas and the withdrawal of people and material. The brewery's output decreased to around 13,000 hectoliters by 1951.

The Platzl , former folk singer stage

Since there was hardly any war damage in Aying, things quickly picked up again after the end of the war and the improving supply situation; production was expanded to include non-alcoholic beverages in the mid-1950s. In order to further advance the growth of the brewery and to consolidate its position vis-à-vis the Munich breweries, Inselkammer acquired the famous folk singer's stage, the " Platzl ". By buying the restaurant and entertainment facility opposite the Hofbräuhaus in a prominent place in Munich, he was able to introduce the “Ayinger” brands in Munich and thus achieved a special position among country breweries. By 1956 the annual output rose to 27,000 hectoliters. In the following year, a hydro-automatic brewing plant from the Steinecker company was installed in the new brewhouse and a new malt house was set up in the old stables of the brewery; Fermentation and storage cellars as well as the bottle filling machines were renewed.

Inselkammer's eldest son Franz (* 1935) joined the brewery in Weihenstephan in 1962 after completing his training as a business graduate and master brewer . The brewery inn, which was leased for around 40 years, was renovated and the following year the hotel was expanded to 19 rooms and a restaurant with Antoine Forner as head chef. In 1963, emissions including non-alcoholic drinks were around 76,000 hectoliters. The brewery grew steadily and in 1968 took over the Höllbräu in Traunstein.

When the brewery in the center of Aying was bursting at the seams in 1970, a new bottling plant with filtration and dispatch was built on the outskirts of Aying, which went into operation in 1972 and had an hourly output of around 30,000 bottles. In 1977, the son of the Bräu Franz (* 1935) and Angela Ruf (* 1958), the daughter of an entrepreneurial family from Höhenkirchen, married .

Centennial anniversary

The Sixthof in Aying, today a local museum

For the company's centenary in 1978, the brewery, including non-alcoholic beverages, achieved a record output of around 160,000 hectoliters. The Sixthof was converted into a local museum and an old grain box from Peiß , which stood in the way of road construction, was restored and placed in the garden of the brewery inn. The brewery continued to grow by taking over the Xaver-Münchbräu brewery in Feldkirchen.

On June 24, 1982, the Franz Inselkammer (1902–1986) brewery was awarded the Bavarian Order of Merit by Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauss for his life's work and many years of voluntary service . Two years later he was married to Franz Inselkammer jun. (* 1984) another grandchild was born. The brewer died on August 11, 1986 in Aying and his son of the same name Franz (* 1935) took over the management of the family brewery as the fourth brewery from Aying.

New brewery, built in 1999

The brewery continued to grow under his leadership and in 1991 took over the bottling of the Reutberg monastery brewery , which was about to close in 1987. Shortly before the end of the 20th century, the brewery got a completely newly built brewery with a Schalander on the outskirts of Aying, directly opposite the bottling plant that was inaugurated in 1972. Until then, the beer was pumped across the town of Aying in an approximately 700 meter long pipeline until it was bottled. The new brewery, opened on October 15, 1999 by the then Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber , was considered the most modern brewery in Europe in its size.

21st century

On July 16, 2002, the Franz Inselkammer brewery received the Bavarian Order of Merit from the Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber for his services and his commitment to society. A year later, the brewery inn was extensively renovated and the hotel expanded to 34 rooms. In the middle of 2004, the brewery began setting up the drilling site for the second mineral water source; the drilling was completed four months later. After the technical acceptance of the borehole, the connection to the brewery and the construction of a well house took place. The first test funding took place in June 2005. Since January 2008, the water from the Ayinger St. Andreas spring pumped from the new well has been used in the brewing and bottling process. The water from the new well complied with the strict requirements of the Mineral Water Ordinance and thus met the high quality standards of brewing water with a very low degree of hardness.

In 2007, the brewery's total beer output rose to around 80,000 hectoliters with nine original varieties and seasonal beers. Including the non-alcoholic drinks and mineral water, the total output was around 130,000 hectoliters. 90 percent of the sales took place in Bavaria. The relocation of the entire brewery administration to the brewery building erected in 1999 on the outskirts of Aying took place in 2008. In the same year Ursula Inselkammer (* 1982) joined the management of the brewery inn and the hotel.

Former mansion of the brewery

After the renovation and restoration of the listed and around 400 year old manor house , it was reopened as a hotel in 2009. It had belonged to the family since 1810 and served as the family seat until 2005. Today it is part of the ensemble on the village square in Aying and has 14 rooms, a library, a farm kitchen with an attached restaurant and a conference room.

In 2010 the young brewer from Aying, Franz Inselkammer jun. (* 1984), joined the management of his parents' company as the 6th brewer from Aying. After graduating from high school, he learned the trade of brewer and maltster in the Andechs monastery brewery and then studied business administration.

Since the beginning of 2013, the Ayinger Bräustüberl opposite the inn has been under the management of the Inselkammer family again after about 40 years of leasing and renovation.

In the international beer competition European Beer Star 2015 , the brewery won a total of 4 medals and the audience award. On June 20, 2015, Franz Inselkammer junior married. (* 1984) and Laura Krankenhagen in Mariapfarr in Austria.

Angela Inselkammer (* 1959) was elected President of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association on October 24, 2016 in Kulmbach.

In 2016, the young brewer from Aying, Franz Inselkammer junior (* 1984), took over the brewery’s environmental responsibility in addition to his role as a brewer. In the same year, the refrigeration system for the pressure tank storage area got a new compressor and was converted to a more environmentally friendly refrigerant.

On February 2, 2018, the Aying brewery celebrated its 140th anniversary with a historic ceremony in the Ayinger Bräustüberl. On this occasion an anniversary brew was brewed and launched as Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel.
