The Jacob family's great modesty and down-to-earth nature is not only evident in their warm manner, but also in their motto. The brewery describes its fine wheat beer as "probably the best wheat beer in the world", demonstrating genuine Bavarian humor and love for its own beer.
The Upper Palatinate culture of enjoyment is based on the savoir vivre of the Bavarians: in the south of Germany, the clocks tick a little slower and people know how to live their lives with joy, tradition and leisure. Hearty food and tasty beer as well as traditional music are just as much a part of the cultural treasure as the region's magnificent churches and castles. The Jacob family brewery has been doing its part for more than 250 years and enriches the beer market with hand-brewed beer specialties. The brewery has won awards for its creations in renowned competitions and has one or two gold medals hanging on its wall. In addition to the wonderful beers, the brewery has another highlight in its range: the annual wheat beer calendar presents the Jacob family's fine brews in the most attractive way. On the calendar pages, twelve beautiful women enjoy the delicious wheat beer and show on which occasions the barley juice tastes particularly good. In addition to beautiful women, the Jacob brewery also supports sporty people: the two triathletes Marc Braun and Thomas Kerner are supported by the family brewery and proudly wear jerseys with the brewery emblem.
The history of the brewery began in 1738, when the hard-working workers of the town of Bodenwöhr were fed up of getting their beer from the surrounding villages and towns. After a hard day's work, the men and women wanted to enjoy fresh beer. Their wish would not come true until 20 years later, but with the founding of the Peter Still brewery, beer from Bodenwöhr was available from then on. Unfortunately, the beer-related happiness did not last very long, as the brewer died just one year later. The brewery changed hands several times and finally fell into the hands of the Jacob family in 1884. From then on, things went uphill: output was steadily increased and the brewery made a good name for itself far beyond the borders of Bodenwöhr and the Upper Palatinate. The fine beer attracted attention in the German beer scene and has been continuously winning gold medals for quality and taste since 1994. In addition to the outstanding aroma of its beers, the brewery's homeland is particularly important: the crystal-clear spring water comes directly from the village, the malt is grown by farmers from the Upper Palatinate region and the hops also come from the sunny slopes of the Hallertau.
