Hacker-Pschorr is also one of the most popular breweries in the beer city of Munich: The traditional brewery has a long history and builds on a wealth of experience gathered by brewers from the Middle Ages to the present day.
The first brewery under the name Hacker was first mentioned in documents in 1417. Even then, the Munich brewery was a popular meeting place among the city's residents and was also popular with guests. The current name Hacker-Pschorr goes back to 1793, when the daughter of the then brewer married: Maria-Theresia Hacker married the brewer's assistant Joseph Pschorr and the Hacker brewery became Hacker-Pschorr. Under Joseph's skilful hand, the company established itself as one of the most respected breweries in the city. A short time later, the brewery had to expand and acquired a storage cellar that broke records. The brewers affectionately call their storage facility in and under Landsberger Strasse "beer fortress" - a nickname that absolutely does justice to Germany's largest storage cellar. Although the construction of the beer fortress had already put a big hole in the brewery's wallet, Joseph did not hesitate to expand his brewery to include the Bauernhansl brewery and a few other houses around the corner. When his sons took over the business in the 1840s, one son ran the Hacker brewery and the other son ran the "Zum Pschorr" brewery. Other men in the family followed, joining forces to expand the breweries into a true empire. It was not until the 1970s that the two breweries became one again: the merger took place in 1972 and continues to this day.
The team at the Hacker-Pschorr brewery sees itself as a living part of the Bavarian culture of enjoyment. The cornucopia of breweries, inns, restaurants, beer gardens, taverns, pubs and cellars is referred to at Hacker-Pschorr as “Heaven of Bavaria” - a term that encompasses not only the culinary delights, but also the breathtaking landscape and the warm hospitality of the Bavarians. Whether you are sitting in a beer garden in the middle of Munich, resting on an alpine pasture after a strenuous climb, hiking through meadows and forests in the Bavarian Oberland or visiting the Munich area, a cool Hacker-Pschorr is waiting for you in countless places in the region.
