The brewery

In 1675, Prince-Bishop Sebastian von Pötting moved the Hochfürstliche Bräuhaus to the Hacklberg, which is valued for its spring water. The brewery belonged to Hacklberg Castle , which was significantly expanded around 1698. In 1796 a large beer storage cellar was built, and the so-called “White Brewery” was expanded in 1798 to include the “Brown Brewery”.

After secularization in Bavaria , the Bavarian administration only showed interest in the brewery, while the once important summer palace largely disappeared. In 1849 the brothers Jakob and Bartholomäus Hartl bought the now royal brewery. On May 13, 1897, the Passau bishop was able to purchase the brewery again for 850,000 gold marks. The original plan to use the castle again as the bishop's summer residence was abandoned after the first year.

In 1913, the brewery was rebuilt above the storage cellar in Fuchsloch, which was built in 1796, and was given its current form. In 1945 the malt house, the turbine house and parts of the office buildings and the prince's building in the area of the former palace fell victim to a bomb attack. The part of the old brewery that previously connected the prince's building and the office building (now the Bräustüberl) is still partially preserved as a ruin of the outer walls and is currently used as a parking lot.

The malt house was rebuilt in 1951, but the Hacklberg brewery no longer produces its own malt.

On May 26, 2003, the extensive restoration work on the still preserved ballroom in the prince's building of the former palace was completed. The large vaulted cellar is also currently being restored and, like the ballroom, will be used as an exclusive event space. Stephan Marold has been director of the brewery since 2006. In July 2007 a new bottling plant was put into operation in the logistics center of the Hutthurm brewery . In 2008 a new filling plant for barrels follows on the premises of the brewery in Passau.

HGL

The "Hacklberger Beverage and Logistics Center" is located in Hutthurm on the B 12 . It was built in 1997 and modernized in 2007. The filling system installed on an area of 7600 m² achieves an hourly output of 36,000 bottles and is one of the most modern of its kind in Germany. At this hub, all of the brewery's products are brought together and delivered with the brewery's own fleet of vehicles to the catering industry, to around 1200 East Bavarian beverage dealers and to private households via Hacklberger Heimdienst. Since the incorporation of the Innstadt brewery on January 1, 2014, the HGL has been renamed DGL, "Dreiflüsse Getränke- und Logistikzentrum".

In addition to the range of beers (brands Hacklberg and Innstadt ), the Hacklberg brewery also produces non-alcoholic beverages under the brand names Sonnenland and Frizz . While the Hacklberger beers are brewed with the very soft Hacklberger water, the water for the non-alcoholic drinks came from the Kringell Dachsberg spring. The use of this spring as well as the Dachsberg brand were given up in summer 2017.
