Description
The Hopfs – one brewery family, one passion, one Lang – since 1853.

The beginnings of the Schönbrunn brewery go back to the year 1831, when the officials of the margrave granted permission to innkeepers Schmidt, Zeitler und Rasp to set up a community brewhouse, with a reference to the especially advantageous properties of the water in Schönbrunn. The oldest advertising signs and letterheads that have been found point to 1853 as the year of founding. At that time the three founding families of Zeitler, Rasp and Schmidt held the main shares in the brewery. A real „Lang“ only appears as a partner in the Schönbrunn brewery from 1883 in the form of Friedrich Gustav Lang.

In 1888 Gustav Lang built the present head office of Lang-Bräu. After the early death of Rudolf Lang (1937) his widow Frida Lang took over the brewery and farming operations and guided them both through the confusion of the war and post-war times. From 1948 Frida Lang was given strong support from Ernst Hopf, who married her daughter Irma Lang that same year. The brewmaster worked intensively on the brewery and brought it up to its present modern state.

We are among the leading private breweries of Upper Franconia with an annual output in five digits (in hectolitres). We have set our course for the future by our investment in a new filling unit. It this way it is possible for us to ensure the unique and unsurpassed quality of our beers even as demand rises.
