Krombacher

1803 · brewery founded

Johannes Haas set up a brewery in his father's tavern in Krombach, first recorded on 4 February 1803. At the time, only inns with their own brewhouse were allowed to serve beer. The brewery uses soft water from its own rock spring. The Schadeberg family has run it since 1922, and Krombacher Pils is Germany's second best-selling beer.
