The German symbol of quality and tradition is falling. This is a brewery with traditions
The Viechtacher Brewery, founded in 1553, has been an integral part of Bavaria's cultural and economic landscape for centuries. For years, its products have enjoyed recognition not only locally, but also throughout Germany, being synonymous with quality and tradition.
In recent years, the brewery has encountered a series of financial difficulties that have threatened its stability. In response to the crisis, an investor appeared and pledged financial support, promising a new life for this aging institution. However, this support was never realized and the investment offer was withdrawn, leaving the brewery on the verge of collapse.
