The Maisel family

Jeff Maisel, brewery owner

Jeff Maisel has been surrounded by the passion for beer from the cradle on. But this comes as no surprise, as the Maisel family can pride themselves with a brewing tradition of more than 200 years. Jeff is a brewer with his heart and soul and not only because he studied brewing and beverage technology in Weihenstephan. Although he does not operate the brewing kettles himself, he runs the company always keeping the ideas of his ancestors in mind. Besides, he is an untiring source of new and innovative ideas. After all, it was due to his initiative that our Maisel & Friends beers were established in 2012 and that his childhood dream of having a beer bar and gastronomy in the center of the brewery - our Liebesbier - could finally come true in 2016.
 

Four generations of beer brewing tradition

Our "Brauerei Gebr. Maisel" was established in 1887 by Hans and Eberhardt Maisel, two brothers from a brewer family, whose history can be traced back another 100 years. In the course of several decades, our family business has evolved from a local and regional brewery to one of Germany's leading producers of beer specialties. All Maisel generations have demonstrated foresight, courage and the spirit of innovation and have always been open to the expertise and advice of people closely connected to them. This tradition, which is part of Maisel & Friends's philosophy, was and still is the foundation of our brewer family.
