Brauerei Stierberg

The Stierberg brewery in the municipality of Obertaufkirchen is located in the west of the district of Mühldorf, nestled in the beautiful Bavarian countryside.

1908 Foundation of the Stierberg brewery.

The story begins with Michael Kammhuber, who is not dissuaded from his idea of opening a pub by the lack of a license. He starts brewing beer, because at that time every citizen was allowed to sell home-made products. The Stierberg brewery was born.

1919

Georg Kammhuber takes over his parents' brewery. The trained brewer gives up his job at Münchner Löwenbräu to continue the family brewery after the sudden death of his father Michael Kammhuber.

1939 Georg Kammhuber expands his expertise by successfully completing the master school.

By this time, his eldest son Franz had already joined the business to support his father.

1951 Franz Kammhuber passes his master craftsman's examination at the Doemensschule and now runs the brewery together with his father Georg.

1961 Official handover of the Stierberg brewery to Franz Kammhuber, who continues to run the business from this point on.

With his great inventiveness and technical skill, he significantly advances the development of the brewery, for example by switching from wooden barrels to aluminum tanks, building a new brewhouse and malt house and relocating the small-scale lemonade production in Dorfen to Stierberg.

1977 Annemarie Kammhuber Hartinger, the middle of Franz Kammhuber's five daughters, begins her apprenticeship as a brewer in her parents' business.

She supplements her knowledge of the art of brewing by working in other companies.

1983 Annemarie Kammhuber Hartinger passes her master's examination at the Doemens Academy of Brewing Art as the best of the year.

Father Franz and his daughter now work together in the brewery, complementing each other with his experience and their innovative spirit.



1993 Drilling of the new 136m deep well for the best, natural brewing water.

1998 The fourth generation of the Stierberg brewery is ushered in with the handover of the business to Annemarie Kammhuber Hartinger.

2000 Extensive building work is carried out between 1998 and 2000. The malt store, fermentation and storage cellars as well as the bottling plant are demolished, completely renovated and brought up to the latest state of the art. The brewery is turned upside down, particularly through the expansion of the brewhouse. Since these measures, the entire production process has been centrally controlled electronically to ensure consistent beer quality.

2008 Celebration week for the 100th anniversary of the brewery.
