After more than 150 years, the traditional German beer producer Brauerei Bachmayer, based in Bavarian Dorfen, is closing. The company owner Josef Hörmann confirmed this to the media.

– Energy, raw materials, I no longer see any perspective for the future, said chief Josef Hörmann.

The remaining goods from its own production are expected to be sold by the end of April, after which the brewery will close.

Bachmayer Brewery is one of the last of the former six breweries in Isenstadt, along with Bräu z`Loh Brauerei, which was founded in 1928.

In addition to supplying many inns, Bachmayer also runs some of its own businesses. Work will continue until summer because they still have work to do. Besides the economic situation, Hörmann also complains about the lack of skilled workers, a problem that almost all breweries are currently struggling with.

The German Brewers Association recently described 2022 as one of the darkest years in history – the forecasts for 2023 also look bleak. It is not ruled out that the tense situation will force other smaller breweries to cease operations as well.
