Central European Brewing

A testament to survival and purity. It endured raids in 955, plagues, and multiple fires, and was already centuries into the craft when the Duke of Bavaria enacted the Reinheitsgebot purity law in…

The beer that conquered the world. On 5 Oct 1842 Bavarian brewer Josef Groll debuted the first batch — its brilliant golden clarity was revolutionary in a world of dark, cloudy ales, and it spawned…

Highly respected independent Czech brewers bridging the gap between traditional Czech lagers and American craft styles.

The Czech Republic's second-largest brewery, fully inside Molson Coors. Prague on the label, Denver on the ownership chart.

Munich's oldest brewery, founded by Augustinian monks in 1328, and the only one of the city's big six still genuinely independent — held by a charitable foundation rather than a conglomerate, which…

Where Vienna Lager was invented, and it is still brewing. Franz Anton Dreher bought the brewery and farmstead at Klein-Schwechat in 1796 — the site had been making beer since 1632 — and when he died…

State-owned, Czech, and locked in a trademark war with AB InBev for over a century. Budvar's real product is the refusal to sell the name.

A brewery founded in 1589 so the Duke of Bavaria would stop paying to import beer from Saxony. It is still owned by the state, which means the government of Bavaria is in the brewing business and has…

A legendary Franconian brewery famous for its ungespundet cellar beer perfectly served in an ancient tavern.

A genuine Oktoberfest institution since 1634, with Heineken holding 30% of the parent. Nearly four centuries of independence has a price and somebody named it.

A family-run Czech operation that broke away from traditional lagers to dominate locally with NEIPAs and pastry stouts.

A historic, independent Bavarian powerhouse specializing exclusively in top-fermented wheat beers like their Aventinus Eisbock.

An independent Swiss alpine brewery deeply tied to extreme sports culture, brewing incredibly crisp modern lagers.

Germany Pass 25. Founder: UNKNOWN in the source workbook; since identified as Georg Keesmann. Status as recorded: ACTIVE. Traditional Bamberg brewery in Wunderburg. Current Bamberg Tourism material…

Only six breweries may pour at Oktoberfest, and all six must brew within Munich city limits. It is a closed shop enforced by the city, and it is the reason those six names are worth what they are.

If one brewery has a claim to inventing the modern world's beer, it is this one. Sedlmayr took British brewing science back to Munich, applied it to cold fermentation, and the result is most of what…

Brewing in Salzburg since 1492 — the year Columbus sailed, which is the comparison every Austrian makes and it never stops being effective. Mozart drank it. It remains Austria's largest privately…

Altbier is old beer — top-fermented then cold-conditioned, the German ale that survived the lager takeover in one city. The waiters keep replacing your glass until you put a beermat on top, which is…

Built in a port city to be shipped rather than drunk locally, which is why the rest of the world knows it far better than most Germans care to. Sold to InBev in 2002 for a sum that startled the…

A major staple of the Berlin craft scene, famously constructing their primary brewhouse entirely out of repurposed shipping containers.

The modern attempt to bring Berliner Weisse back, and it lasted nine years. Ulrike Genz founded Schneeeule in 2016 with Andreas Bogk, specialising in the city's own nearly-vanished style. Genz…

A brewery whose best surviving documentation is a painting. Franz Skarbina painted the Gabriel & Jäger brewery garden around 1878, and the Berlinische Galerie holds it still — so most of what is…
