History of Hofbräuhaus
Founded 1589 Munich, Germany.
1516
Twenty-four years after Columbus sailed to America, the Bavarian Bier Purity Law, "Reinheitsgebot," limited bier to three ingredients: hops, malt, and water. Our bier has always been brewed according to this law.
1589
One year after the Spanish Armada sailed for England, a scant seven generations before Columbus was founded, a court brewery, "Hof " (court) "bräuhaus" (brew house) was established by Duke William V. The brewing took place on the grounds of the court.
1606
Brewery operations were moved to the Platzl. This is where the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl has been standing for over four hundred years. For the next 222 years, only members of the court could drink Hofbräu bier at the Hofbräuhaus.
1810
King Maximillian I gave his son Crown Prince Ludwig and Ludwig's bride, Princess Therese, a large wedding reception with horse racing, amusements, and most important, free bier. This was the first "Oktoberfest".

General and past-President Ulysses S. Grant visited the "Court Brewery" twice in one day.
1896
Brewing was moved to Hofbräukeller and Hofbräuhaus am Platzl was remodeled to become the most famous bier hall in the world.

Wiga Gabriel from Berlin composed the world famous Hofbräuhaus song. The company name changes from Königliches Hofbräuhaus (The Royal Hofbräuhaus) to Staatliches Hofbräuhaus (The State-owned Hofbräuhaus).
