List of breweries in Freising

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of breweries in Freising shows the existing and former breweries in the area of ​​the city of Freising .

The two oldest breweries are probably the Weihenstephan brewery and the Hofbrauhaus, which has been in existence since 1620 . Around 1800 there was such a large number of breweries in Freising that even a representative of the Munich authorities, who wrote a report on Freising after the secularization in Bavaria , made the remark "seem to be too much for Freising".

After 1850 there was a drastic decline in the number of breweries. A large part of the breweries ceased operations by 1915. After the Second World War there were only five breweries and the research brewery in Weihenstephan. Today, in addition to the two large breweries Hofbrauhaus and Weihenstephan, there is also a research brewery and a brewery restaurant in Lerchenfeld.

A large number of beer cellars were also set up in Freising for the production and storage of beer . Most of these cellars were located in the hills around the city. Above all, the breweries on the southern side of the main street had no opportunity to build cellars there, as the terrain here is flat and is close to the Moosach . Cellars were therefore built in the hill below the former St. Veit monastery , on the Lankesberg and along the edge of the slope towards Neustift.

The increase in sales in the 1960s would have made it necessary to expand the brewery, but this failed due to the lack of space on site. A partnership was entered into with the Hofbrauhaus Freising, which took over the bottling. Since the brewhouse would have to be expanded later, production was completely taken over by the Hofbrauhaus in 1976.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The list is based on the listing of the breweries in the book by Hans Lorenzer named in the list of sources: Freising Breweries and Their Cellars . The list is not necessarily exhaustive, as breweries may have existed for which no evidence can be found.
  2. ↑ The document that dates the founding of the Weihenstephan brewery to 1040 is most likely a forgery from the 17th century. The exact date of its establishment is not known.
