Originally Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden was called "Brauerei Pfister" (brewery Pfister). In 1645 the Bavarian prince-provost took over the brewery as his "Hofbrauhaus" ("Hof": german for court, "Brauhaus": german for brewery) - this name lasted until now. Therefore, the Hofbrauhaus can look back to a longer than 370-year-history of brewing. Today, the brewery offers not only different kinds of beers, but also "beer souvenirs", like for example a beer soap or various kinds of beer glasses. The beers can be bought, for example, directly at the brewery or you can try them in the neighbouring "Bräustüberl".
