 Brewer/bottler #9968 | | | Name | Privatbrauerei Palmbräu |
| | | | State/Province | Baden-Württemberg |
| | | | | | Extra info | The brewery was founded in 1835 by Jakob Zorn (1812-1882) in his wine tavern in Eppingen in Baden. Under his son Franz Zorn (1839-1917) expanded the operation. The inn was well frequented at that time, so that on Sundays up to 1000 liters of beer were served. It was also Franz Zorn, who brought with him palm trees from Italy, decorated the inn with it and renamed it " Gasthaus zum Palme ", from which the name Palmbräu was derived. The house brewery developed into family hands, especially under the descendants Emil and Reinhold Zorn, to a considerable large enterprise, whose distribution took place already 1970 in most southwest German large cities.
Amongst other things, Palmbräu became known for its specialty beers, including the strong beer Schwarzer Zornickel with 8.5% alcohol by volume and the special beer drafted for 2008 for the Lower Saxony Volksfest. In addition to the Pils, the company also sells its export and wheat beer as well as various mixed beer drinks. In 2012, the beer output was around 30,000 hl.
At the beginning of April 2009, the Brauhaus Pforzheim took over the land, property, inventory, empties and supplies of the insolvent brewery as well as the rights to the Palmbräu brand and continued the brewing business in Eppingen. |
