Brauhaus Nittenau

Brewing tradition since 1762 Just like the inn, the brewery can also look back on a long tradition.

It was first mentioned in 1762 as a communal brewery where brown beer was brewed.

The building burned down in 1779 and was rebuilt, this time in stone.

From 1808 it was called the "brown communal brewery" and from 1815 it was owned by bourgeois shareholders.

The beer brewed was stored in private cellars. The number of shareholders then decreased over time until the brewery passed into the ownership of Sigmund Pirzer and Hans Jakob in 1923.

At this time, it was called Bräuhaus Nittenau "with beer cooling system" and had two ice cellars.

Since 1996, the brewery has been known as Brauhaus Nittenau Josef Jakob.

Since 2006, Nittenau beer has been produced in the newly built brewery at Wulkersdorferstraße 4 in Nittenau. As the old buildings were too small and there was a constant lack of space, the traditional trade was rebuilt in the new production facility with modern technology and an ideal place for creative brewing technology was created, in which old processes were reconsidered, optimized and implemented to improve the product.

As a small brewery with great beer quality that sustainably produces a wide variety of high-quality beverages, we stand for short trade routes and convincing freshness in line with our motto "From the region - for the region". The brewery also attaches great importance to conscious and environmentally friendly production methods and covers 94% of its energy requirements with its own photovoltaic system. This makes Brauhaus Nittenau one of the few solar beer breweries in Germany to bear this seal of quality.

Since 2011, son Sebastian Jakob has been working at the brewery after completing his apprenticeship and studying to become a master brewer. Buy our beers online!
