Germany - Breweries

The origins of Waitzinger Bräu AG date back to 1740 when it was know as the Electral brewery in Miesbach. The Waitzinger family took over the brewery in 1810/11 and gave it its name. The brewery was taken over by Paulaner in 1927/28 and it was renamed Kurfürstlich Bayerischer Brauhaus in 1965. The brewery was the largest private brewery in upper Bavaria until its closure in 1977.
