The Wildbräu Grafing GmbH brewery is a brewery from Grafing in the Ebersberg district . Around 12,000 hl of beer are produced annually.
history
In the course of the Middle Ages , an estate - the nucleus of Grafing - was turned into an aristocratic residence on the Grafingen market square, the " private house ". A brewery was attached to this estate, which fell victim to a fire and was rebuilt and restored by the then owner Hildebrand von Kitscher in 1536.
In the second half of the 16th century, the manorial brewery was still facing competition from three bourgeois brewers. This soon led to repeated complaints against the business conduct of the noble brewery. It was not until Duke Maximilian I's judgment pronounced in 1616 that pacification was achieved and that the four breweries, all of which were grouped around the market square, were subsequently coexisted.
The beer brewing was to the modern day as a craft , and was for the nobility not befitting. That is why the manorial brewery was run by master brewers or tenants until the 19th century . The master brewer was Caspar Weber, who ran the business for several decades in the 17th century, which is why the brewery was popularly called "Kasperlbräu" after him for centuries.
In 1819 the Elkofener and Eisendorfer Hofmarkherr Johann Kasper Alois Graf Basselet von La Rosée sold the brewery property including all accessories to his master brewer Melchior Kleinmaier and his wife Magdalena. The brewery estate, which was passed into civil ownership, remained in family ownership from then on. The Aibling-born brewer's son Korbinian Wild (1840–1901), the husband of Kleinmaier's granddaughter Elisabeth, made special contributions to the company in the second half of the 19th century. He expanded and equipped the brewery with a beer cellar, a steam engine and a water tower. Under his leadership, the brewery became a "Wildbraü".
When Korbinian Wild died in 1901, his son-in-law Josef Schlederer, owner of Grafinger Reiterbräu, took over the management of the business. In the same year he shut down his own business, acquired the neighboring Heckerbräu and also stopped production there, so that from then on only the Grandauer brewery existed in Grafing alongside the wild brewery. In the 1920s Schlederer obtained the right to use the Grafing heraldic bear as a trademark of his company from the market town of Grafing and in 1932 procured the first wood gas truck in Bavaria for his brewery .
After the difficult years of the Second World War and the post-war period, the Wildbräu brewery was able to expand economically in the 1950s and 1960s and operations were relocated to the outskirts. In 1993, the local competitor Grandauerbräu, which was offered for sale, was also taken over.
Others
The brewery is a member of the Brauring , a cooperation between private breweries from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
