The Spessart brewery has its origins in the “Goldenen Löwen” inn at the site of today’s brewery, which was first mentioned on May 9, 1741.
In 1809, Georg Michael Junker received the “Beer brewing tax right against payment of a guilder …” in a document and operated a brewery with it until 1830.
On August 25, 1884, Johann Leonhard Lutz purchased the brewery and the inn together for 9,000.00 RM on presentation of the old document from 1809.
The first test brew is made with the wooden mash and lauter tun from the Junkersche brewery, a washing kettle as a brewing kettle and the wine press as a cooling vessel. This first brew was an excellent success, so nothing stood in the way of the reopening of the brewery in 1887, which was the year in which today’s brewery was founded.
It was the hour of birth of the Lutz brewery with an upright lion as the company logo. The later company logo with the two lions and the Kreuzwertheim coat of arms at that time may still be known here and there today.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the Lutz brewery was gradually renamed the Spessart brewery and the woodpecker was included as the new company logo. An even greater identification with our beautiful homeland was lived with it. Last but not least, it is still said today. Our home – our beer”.
The Spessart brewery is still a family-owned artisan private brewery today.
Spessart beer is brewed strictly according to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, using only pure Spessart water, fresh, proprietary yeast, malt from local brewing barley and Franconian hops.
The Spessart brewery is a craft private brewery that mainly brews draft beer for the catering trade. The bottled beer and non-alcoholic branded drinks produced in-house by the Spessart brewery guarantee top quality in the long term.
Artisanal brewing with long, cold maturation and the most gentle filtration guarantee beer enjoyment with a natural shelf life. Without long transport routes, the specialties reach the beer lovers of our region exclusively in environmentally friendly reusable containers.
