Familienbrauerei Jacob oHG
Our old Bavarian culture combines lifestyle, tradition and desire for delight into a truly unique attitude towards life. In Upper Palatinate, these elements accurately reflect the equally carefully matched composition of chosen hops, aromatic malt and fresh spring water. The attentive hands of our master brewers unite these ingredients into unique top and bottom fermented beer specialities.
In the Jacob family brewery, in the heart of the Upper Palatinate sea country, probably the world’s best wheat beer is at home. We’ve been brewing ever since 1758. Genuine and honest, sip by sip.
