Schönbuch Bräu is a German brewery based in Böblingen, which was founded in 1823 and is the oldest still existing operation in the city.

history

The company was founded in 1823 as the Dinkelacker Brewery by Karl Gottfried Dinkelacker in Böblingen. In 1860 his sons Christian and Wilhelm took over the business. After disagreements about sales and the development of the brewery, Wilhelm Dinkelacker paid off his brother Christian in 1873, who then founded the Dinkelacker brewery in Stuttgart . In order to avoid confusing the two breweries, the Dinkelackers in Böblingen deleted the c from their name. In 1898 Wilhelm handed the company over to his sons Wilhelm and Hermann. In 1906 the name Schönbuch Bräu was introduced. It refers to the nearby Schönbuch forest . Wheat beers have also been brewed since 1991. In 2009 the company was renamed Schönbuch Braumanufaktur .

The brewery is now run by the sixth generation of the Dinkelaker family.
