A monastery brewery in the Swabian alps. The monastery was founded in 1089, and were brewing beer at least by 1521. The Württemberg government confiscated the monastery and took over the brewery in 1803 (something as important as beer can't be left to God...). The Baader family took over the brewery in 1897 and runs it to this day.
