Joseph Pschorr (born  June 2, 1770 in Kleinhadern, today also Stürzerhof on Spitzweghof , today part of the city of Munich ; †  June 3, 1841 in Munich) was a German entrepreneur and a "brewery icon".

Life

Joseph Pschorr, son of the farmers Johann Pschorr and Theresia Haberl, received his father's permission to train as a brewer in Munich when he was 15. He completed this at the Oberkandler Brewery. The brewery servant Pschorr married Maria Theresia Hacker (1772–1800) in Munich in 1793 and bought the Hacker Brewery in Munich from his father-in-law Peter-Paul Hacker for 34,000 guilders. By building a huge storage cellar, he was able to keep the beer fresh even in summer, which meant that it could be stored all year round for the first time. Joseph Pschorr bought the "Zum Bauernhansl" brewery in 1820 and founded the " Hacker-Pschorr Brewery", which he led to the most popular brewery in Munich after his own Hacker brewery.

After his death, the breweries were continued by his sons Georg Pschorr (1798–1867) and Matthias Pschorr senior .
