Einbecker Brauhaus
Einbeck beer is documented from 1378, and its strong, long-keeping beer was a Hanseatic export; the Munich court bought it from 1555, and in 1614 the Hofbräuhaus hired an Einbeck brewmaster to brew it at home. The Bavarian name for the beer, Ainpöckisch, became Bock. The town’s brewing rights were merged into one town brewery in 1794, which became Einbecker Brauhaus AG in 1967 and is listed on the Hannover and Berlin exchanges. Its Ur-Bock Dunkel is a classic dunkles bock, and its Mai-Ur-Bock a helles bock.
