When you have mastered something, it is tempting to call it a day and stop learning. You have achieved what you wanted and there is no reason to continue to put in more effort than necessary. The saying goes that someone in this state is resting on their laurels. In the beer scene, we see various approaches to this. Some long-established breweries are putting all their eggs in their basket with their award-winning brews, which have been produced in the company for centuries. Others, on the other hand, bring out a new beer almost every week, even though they have already developed a series of creations whose success they could rest on. In order to stay on top of things in our fast-moving times and not lose relevance, most breweries have to work close to the zeitgeist and constantly develop further.
One company that fulfils this duty with joy and enthusiasm is the Püttner brewery. Although the beers have enjoyed a good reputation since the beginning of the company's history, the team strives to bring new creations to the market and to keep getting a little better. Their range includes just under a dozen beers that are brewed by hand and contain the purest spring water from the brewery's own well, hops from Spalt and Hallertau and grain from the region. In addition to the flexible core range, there are always new seasonal specialties that are made for special occasions and to celebrate spring. The brewery produces all the classics of Bavarian brewing and, in addition to the beers, also sells schnapps and whiskey from its own distillery and exquisite lemonades.
The brewery was founded in 1819. At that time, beer was brewed on behalf of Baron von Hirschberg. The Püttner family took ownership of the brewery in 1862 and still does today. Over time, the Püttners added to the brewery's structure, carried out renovations and modernizations, and brought the brewhouse up to date with the latest technology. In order to offer customers more than just beer, the brewery opened a pub and a hotel. The brewery breathed new life with the advent of the craft beer movement: the team took the first steps and brought out a delicious red ale. Today, there are always modern brews in the range and the brewers combine old brewing traditions with young ideas and new raw materials. The family has preserved a piece of beer history with its Zoigl . This traditional beer is a testament to the brewery's long history and is one of the most popular creations in the Püttner house.
