TRADITION
THE HISTORY OF THE PFUNGSTÄDTER BREWERY
In 1831 the brewmaster Justus Hildebrand moved back to his home town of Hahn near
Pfungstadt. He opened a brew pub to start brewing his own beer. Shortly after, it became well
known in the area that the best beer was brewed at the “Hirschen zu Hahn”. Justus soon realized
that Hahn was not perfectly located to brew his preferred bottom fermented beer. He needed
deep basement cellars with cool temperatures. Since the groundwater level was too high in Hahn
to build deeper into the ground. In 1846 he decided to move the brewery to the town of Pfungstadt.

TRADITION
In 1868 the brewery built its own malthouse directly at the brewery compound due to the high demand
of malt. Just a few years later in 1872 Justus bought the second industrial ice-machine that was ever
built. Today the ice-machine as well as the heavy steam-engine that powered it can still be visited at our
historical machine house. In 1872 it was one of the most significant innovations in the beer industry. It
did not take long before the beer was known all over Germany. The brewery had subsidiaries in Berlin,
Hannover, Kassel and more. Many international awards for best “Pilsener style” beer followed soon after.

TRADITION
THE HISTORY OF THE PFUNGSTÄDTER BREWERY
In the following years the breweries output increased significantly and the brewery grew
respectively. In 1884 the owner family started a company health insurance plan for their
99 employees. Shortly after, a railroad connection was built to optimize the increased
export business. In the home region the beer was delivered by horse-drawn carriages.
At that point the brewery kept about 50 of it’s own horses.
A lot of things have changed over the last 180 years of Pfungstädter history.
Numerous new and delicious beer styles were introduced and inspired local and international beer
enthusiasts. However, one thing never changed: The traditional “Ur”-Recipe of our refreshingly
hoppy Pfungstädter Edel-Pils. Since Justus Hildebrand himself started brewing the Pils.
Over generations the recipe has been passed on from brewmaster to brewmaster.

QUALITY
BEST INGREDIENTS
The Pfungstädter Brewery is right at the source! The source for fresh, low-sodium water.
With two of it’s own fountains Pfungstädter has exclusive access to the famous Odenwald spring
water reservoir at the Odenwald “GEO-NATURPARK”, a protected Nature Park in South Hesse.
Independent research institutes have repeatedly confirmed the great mineral water quality.
In short: The perfect brewing water! The water is one of the important factors when it comes
to our outstanding Pilsener taste. Just like the special yeast that we cultivate ourselves. Thanks to
a unique ventilation process we always keep a vital yeast strain with perfect fermentation attributes.
Equally important is the excellent hops we use for our beers. Our hops come exclusively from the
world famous Hallertau region in Bavaria. It is the largest hop producing area in the world.
BREWED ACCORDING TO THE GERMAN PURITY LAW FROM 1516:
BARLEY. WATER. HOPS.
PFUNGSTÄDTER BARLEYMALT – QUALITY THAT IS GOOD FOR THE REGION
We only use the best 2-row spring barley – exclusively from local farmers in Hesse.
Our selected partners have strictly committed themselves to controlled farming and gentle
processing. That is not only environmentally friendly but also gives our customers the certainty
of great quality. The many loyal Pfungstädter consumers approve of our quality every day.
Just like our “Geprüfte Qualität Hessen” (Proof of Quality of Hesse) certificate of origin.
Quality controls from the field though bottling guarantee perfect transparency and security
for the consumer. This “GQH” seal stands for product quality far beyond the legal standards.
